	Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada was the legislature for the province of Upper Canada, which later became the province of Ontario.
		In practice the assembly was quite powerless, it was subjected to the veto of the British-appointed lieutenant governor and the executive council and legislative council, both of whom consisted of members appointed by the governor.
		Their increasingly authoritarian style of governance and disregard for the will of the legislative assembly led to demands for government that was more responsible to the people and eventually the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837.

	Upper Canada
		Upper Canada, the predecessor of modern ONTARIO, came into existence when the British Parliament passed the CONSTITUTIONAL ACT, 1791, dividing the old PROVINCE OF QUEBEC into LOWER CANADA in the E and Upper Canada in the W along the present-day Ontario-Québec BOUNDARY.
		Reformer William Lyon MACKENZIE sometimes wanted Upper Canada to be a kind of Jeffersonian dream and envisaged a province composed of yeomen-farmers wedded to the soil, firmly patriotic and ready to become British-American minutemen.
		For battered post-rebellion Upper Canada the impetus for real political change could only come from Westminster, although it might be accelerated by advocates in the province, as was later shown by the brief but powerful government of Robert Baldwin and Louis LAFONTAINE.

		A Legislative Assembly in British constitutional thought is the second-to-top or third-to-top tier of a government led by a Governor-General, Governor or a Lieutenant-Governor, inferior to an Executive Council and equal to or inferior to a Legislative Council.
