Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada

The Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada was the elected part of the government for the region now known as Ontario, Canada, from 1791 to 1841. It consisted of representatives chosen by landowners from various districts, and its role was to make laws and approve budgets. It operated alongside appointed officials, like the Lieutenant Governor and their advisors, who held significant executive power. This assembly allowed settlers a voice in governance, reflecting early steps toward representative government in Canada. It was a key institution in shaping the political development of Upper Canada.
