Excerpt from The Senate of Canada Its Constitution, Powers and Duties Historically Considered

The titles of the different chapters of this book indicate what I aimed to accomplish in discussing the Constitution, Powers and Duties of the Senate of Canada. My object has been not so much to justify the record of the Senate for the past forty-five years, as to show that to differ from the Lower Chamber is not necessarily an offence against the Constitution or the assertion of an independent judgment for which it has no authority from the people, by whom it was constituted, jointly with the House of Commons, parliamentary trustee for the nation.
