LaoRepresentative governments are where elected officials make decisions for the rest of the people. A responsible government is simply a government that is responsible. Did you mean democratic or republic or monarchy?
============================================================
"Responsible government" in the context of Canadian history refers to the executive being responsible to the legislature, and ultimately responsible to the voters.
The legislature was representative, in the sense that the eligible voters elected the members of the legislature, but the executive was not responsible to the legislature.
The members of the executive were appointed by the lieutenant governor. They were not members of the legislature. They were not elected by the eligible voters. The executive could govern despite the actions and decisions of the legislature and despite what the voters wanted.
