Final answer:
The relationship between provincial and federal governments in the Constitution Act does not make provincial governments subordinate to the federal government, so the answer is False. Provincial governors could veto colonial assembly legislation, which is True. Pennsylvania's constitution was progressive, not conservative, so the statement is False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question asks about the relationship between the provincial and federal governments in the context of the Constitution Act. The answer to this is B) False. According to the Constitution Act, specifically in cases of overlapping jurisdiction, the federal government does not necessarily render the provincial governments subordinate. Canada's Constitution outlines a federal system where both levels of government have spheres of authority. In some cases, they may have overlapping powers. When conflicts arise, the courts may be called upon to decide on jurisdictional issues. It's important to note that the 'Necessary and Proper Clause' mentioned in the student's question relates to the United States Constitution and has the effect of expanding, rather than limiting, federal power.
Colonial governors during the colonial period did indeed have the right to veto legislation passed by the colonial assemblies, so A) True is the correct answer in this historical context.
When speaking to Pennsylvania's constitution during the Revolutionary Era, it was rather progressive for its time, not conservative. Thus, the correct answer would be B) False. Pennsylvania adopted one of the most liberal constitutions of that time, which included features such as a unicameral legislature and provisions for the protection of natural rights.
