A historic collection of letters arguing for responsible government in British North America, rooted in the British Constitution.
This volume presents Joseph Howe’s arguments to Lord John Russell about how British Americans should be governed, with a focus on the principles that underlie the imperial constitution. The letters defend civil liberty and responsible government while weighing the duties of colonial and imperial authorities.

Through Howe’s correspondence, readers see a measured, principled case for local governance paired with loyalty to the Crown. The discussions cover governance, colonial rights, and the balance of power between governors, councils, and assemblies. The book frames a long, respectful debate about how the empire should function in North America.

Clear explanation of how colonial governments might be organized with real responsibility and accountability

Arguments about the proper role of assemblies, executives, and imperial instructions

Historical context for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island

A perspective on civil liberties and constitutional rights within the British Empire

Ideal for readers of Canadian history, constitutional history, and political philosophy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the inequitable distribution of power within British colonial governments of the 19th century. Prior to revolution in North America, the author explores the tension between local colonial leaders and the British home government. The author argues that the colonial elite, hungry for control over patronage and economic development, sought influence within the existing British political structure. There was no alternative political structure for them to work within. The author proposes a reorganization of the colonial government based on the British system of responsible government, in which the executive council would be chosen from the majority party, instead of being appointed by the governor and largely comprised of members of the elite. This would allow for a more equitable distribution of political power. Ultimately, the author argues that such a restructuring of power would strengthen the relationship between British North America and England by promoting greater political equity within the colony.
