The Political Thought of Francis Maseres, Attorney General of Canada, 1766-69
|
| Abstract |
Francis Maseres (1731-1824) was Attorney General of Quebec from 1766 to 1769, and involved in Quebec affairs until the passage of the Constitution Act of 1791. The author points out that as a second generation Englishman descended from Protestant Huguenots who had to leave France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Maseres was dedicated to the liberal constitutionalism of the British system of government, which made him a bitter foe of the feudalism of France and the political generation in England whose abandonment of its ideals resulted in the loss of the American colonies, and, for a generation, the denial of British political liberties to Canada.
