Abstract:
The relationship between the Dominions and the Crown and the Imperial Parliament presents questions of great difficulty. At the present time the Dominions are, just as the Colonies, subject to the legal—though not to the political—supremacy of the Imperial Parliament, the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Though this supremacy has for many years not been exercised positively, i.e. by the passing of Acts affecting a Dominion, except at the request of such Dominion, e.g. at the request of Canada to amend the British North America Act, 1867, yet it still exists, inasmuch as there are in force Acts of the Imperial Parliament (especially the Acts creating the Dominion Constitutions) which apply to the Dominions, and the courts would be compelled to hold any Dominion legislation conflicting with such Acts to be inoperative.
