The British North America Act of 1867, also known as the Constitution Act, 1867, was a key piece of legislation that united the British colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single federation called the Dominion of Canada. It established a parliamentary system of government and outlined the distribution of powers between the federal and provincial governments. The Act marked the beginning of Canada's journey toward full legislative independence, paving the way for future provinces to join the federation.
