↑Canadian Cofederation: Responsible Government.Library and Archives Canada.“The Executive Council would be governed by the leader of the political party that held an elected majority in the Legislative Assembly. That same leader would also appoint the members of the Executive Council. The governor would therefore be forced to accept these "ministers", and if the majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly voted against them, they would have to resign. The governor would also be obliged to ratify laws concerning the internal affairs of the colony once these laws had been passed to the Legislative Assembly.” The Canadian Encyclopedia: Responsible Government.Historica Foundation of Canada.the original on2011-12-17 үдэрһөө архивлагдаһан.2015-05-04 үдэртэ хандаһан.“This key principle of responsibility, whereby a government needed the confidence of Parliament, originated in established British practice.
