Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Administration of the Old Regime in Canada: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Law of McGill University for the Degree of Doctor of Civil Law
Within certain limits, the introduction of the political forms and institutions of Europe into America, illustrates the tendencies that were then dominant in the older continent. It is easy, for instance, to trace in the constitutions of the United States, the conceptions of kingly power and the relations of parliament thereto, that were prevalent during the reign of George the Third, while the absolutism of Louis Quatorze, is nowhere more apparent than in the paternal government that was established in New France.
