Delegates at the
Quebec conference drafted a document that provided the constitutional framework for confederation: the 72 resolutions. George
BROWN played a central role:
“[Brown] took a stand against an elected senate in the new federal parliament, as he had previously against the elective upper house introduced in the province of Canada, because of the problem of basing British responsible government on the confidence of two representative bodies, particularly if they were of different party complexion.”
