Modern_Canada

Modern Canada The Canadian political system contains to a large degree a combination of both British and American characteristics, but the current Canadian system has also evolved unique elements of its own. The Canadian political system acquired its major political institutions from the British political system of the 18th century. In addition to this, Canada has not undergone a revolutionary eruption with its past as compared to the United States, instead Canada has followed a more reasonable path along the lines of a British constitutional evolution during the 19th century. However, the Canadian political system has also been influenced and flavored by ideas and institutions from the United States' political system, namely federalism. "In Britain and the United States the great constitutional issues that set the parameters of the political game had been long settled, but in Canada between the 1790's and 1850's, there was a prolonged struggle between British values and institutions and North American and Canadian conditions, a struggle that made Canadian political culture complex and difficult to define, a struggle that prevented a clear-cut British or American definition of politics from emerging."
