Zusammenfassung:"The core of this primer deals with the functions and purposes of Parliament. The great interest of this examination of the Canadian Parliament lies in its analysis of how this particular assembly ensures that Canada is a democracy. Since Confederation practices that were originally based on British precedent but are now specific to modern Canada have evolved. Students, citizens, and those in the process of becoming Canadians, will benefit from a better understanding of how Parliament functions. Steven Chaplin approaches the topic with over fifteen years' experience as a lawyer to the House of Commons, including as the House's litigator in several important court cases. He grounds his study in the historical origins of the Canadian Parliament, and he discusses each of the constitutional components of Parliament -- the Commons, the Senate, and the monarch. As a discussion of Parliament would be incomplete without mention of political parties, that explanation is also included."
