This Act (known before 1982 as the British North
America Act or simply the BNA Act) is a component of the Canadian
constitution
together with the
Constitution Act 1982 which includes the Canadian Charter of Rights
and Freedoms. The 1867 Act established the
confederation of Canada by setting up a new national government and
dividing law-making power between the national government and the
provinces. One of its provisions sets out the
procedures for appointing and removing the
lieutenant governors
of the
provinces. A copy of the Act can be found on the
