If Queen Catherine's only child was a boy there wouldn't have been Reformation parliament or the Supremacy act. Also England wouldn't have had its first queen aka Queen Mary.
What is the Senate in Canada?
An attempt to limit tyranny of the majority by giving equal representation to all members, all nations, of Confederation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes, Canada has a Senate. The Senate is the Upper House of the Parliament of Canada. Whereas the House of Commons (the Lower House) is an elected chamber, the Senate consists of 105 persons appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the prime minister. Bills must be passed in identical form by the House of Commons and the Senate before they can be presented for Royal Assent to become law. Based on the principles of responsible government, the Senate cannot introduce or amend money bills in such a way that would increase taxation or newly-appropriate public money.
When was the new Australian Parliament House opened?
Construction of the first Parliament House in Canberra, which was only ever intended to be temporary, began in August 1923 and the building was officially opened on 9 May 1927. Construction of the New Parliament House began in 1981, and the House was finally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927).
How is the Canadian constitution amended?
For a few types of constitutional amendments that relate only to the administration of the Parliament of Canada (for example, a constitutional amendment to revoke a certain type of parliamentary privilege), the Parliament of Canada can enact the change without any provincial involvement. (The Senate has an absolute veto over any such constitutional amendments.)For most types of constitutional amendments, the Senate and Commons pass the amendment, and seven out of ten provincial legislatures (for provinces that represent at least 50% of the population of the provinces at the time) must pass resolutions that agree to the amendment. (The Senate can only block such a constitutional amendment for up to one hundred eighty days, should the Commons and provincial legislatures agree.)For some types of constitutional amendments that make changes to key institutions (for example, changes to the Queen, the Governor General, or the Lieutenant Governors), the amendment must not only be passed by the Senate and Commons, but all ten of the provincial legislatures. The refusal of the amendment by any one of the provinces would defeat the constitutional amendment. (The Senate can only block such an amendment, as above, for one hundred eighty days.)
