British North America Act

Japanese: イギリス領北アメリカ法 - いぎりすりょうきたあめりかほう
British North America Act

...the Constitution Act refers to the statutes that constitute the Canadian constitution or constitutional system. The former was formerly called the British North America Act, which established the governing structure of Canada. Since the Act is a British law, the power to amend it lies with the British Parliament, and in the 115 years since the formation of the Commonwealth, 23 amendments have been made through a process of requesting amendments from the Canadian Parliament to the British Parliament.

From [Confederation]

...A general term for a series of movements in Canadian history that culminated in the formation of the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867. In a narrow sense, its beginning can be traced back to the Charlottetown Convention in September 1864, but in a broader sense, its origins can be seen in the unification of the Upper and Lower Canadian colonies in 1841. The idea of ​​unifying the British North American colonies can also be said to be a product of the American Revolution, which saw the birth of the United States of America. External factors that led to the realization of this long-standing goal include the departure of Britain from its colonies, which celebrated liberalism, and the strengthening of American expansionism and protectionism after the Civil War.

【コンフェデレーション】より

…カナダ史において,1867年7月1日の〈カナダ自治領〉の形成に結実する一連の運動の総称。狭義には1864年9月のシャーロットタウン会議にその開始を求めることができるが,広義には1841年のアッパーおよびロワー両カナダ植民地の統合にその萌芽を認めることもできよう。あるいは英領北アメリカ植民地の統合という観念は,アメリカ合衆国の誕生をみたアメリカ革命の所産ともいえる。こうした古くからの課題が実現する対外的要因としては,自由主義を謳歌するイギリスの植民地離れと,南北戦争後のアメリカの膨張主義,保護主義の強化があげられる。…
