L'affaire Hart: Historical Circumstances of the Legislation Giving Jews a Status of Political Equality
|
| Abstract |
On April 11, 1807, Ezekiel Hart (1767-1843) was elected to Lower Canada's Legislative Assembly by the voters of Trois-Rivières, but was prevented from taking his seat because, as a Jew, he could not take an oath of abjuration which would have required Hart to swear "on the true faith of a Christian". In 1809, Hart was again elected to the Legislative Assembly for Trois-Rivières, and again was prevented from taking his seat because of his religion.
