Before the Lower Canada Rebellion (1837-1838) he was the leader of the reformist Patriote movement. In his early days as a politician he was an avid admirer of the British constitution, but not long after he became attracted by the American democracy. This lead to his growing dissatisfaction towards the little power the unelected Legislative Council held. Papineau was the leader of the Patriotes – a party composed of mainly French-Canadians and a number of Irish people. After the Patriotes took charge of the House of Assembly in 1834, Papineau proceeded to send London a long list consisting of 92 changes they demanded – this would later on be known as the “92 Resolutions”.

By October, 1837, more than 5000 townsfolk assembled to hear Papineau’s speech. After gathering the townsfolks’ power, and many battles Papineau still failed to achieve the change he sought after and was exiled to the U.S. Earning amnesy in 1845, he returns to Canada – a place in which he was no longer supported and looked up

This position opened the door that allowed him to begin his growth of political presence. During the following years, he held many political roles under the Royal Government; this allowed him to see the wrongdoing of the government. Because of his denunciation of the Stamp Act, and his insight of the Royal Government, in 1775 Thornton denounced the “unconstitutional and tyrannical Acts of the British Parliament.” Alongside the flee of the Royal Governor, Thornton was elected President of the New Hampshire Provincial Congress, as well as being appointed Chairman of the provincial committee of safety(Adams 21). Ultimately, this time in Thornton’s career served as the launching point of his role in the Revolution.

It seemed a wretched place to invest their newly adopted bank account, and she personally missed the funny poshness of the British elite. After forcing herself to get settled and fixing up the building that now stood proudly as Baker Radio Station, the month seemed to have went by without so much as a whisper of the strangness in New Orleans.

In Upper Canada he saw a defective constitutional system, where power was monopolized by "a petty, corrupt, insolent Tory clique." This Family Compact blocked economic and social development in a potentially wealthy colony, thereby causing the discontent which led to the rebellion. Durham's solution was a system in which colonial governments, at least in domestic matters, were made responsible to the electorate rather than to the governor and the Crown. This would be possible if the executive (or in modern terms, the Cabinet) was drawn from and held the support of the majority in the elected assembly. Such a reform would reduce the power of the Family Compact, stimulate colonial development, strengthen the imperial connection with Britain, and minimize American influences in the
1. The author of the Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans was Louis Armstrong. There are those who believe Armstrong could not have written this autobiography or at least not without help/assistance. Armstrong only received a 5th grade level education, still others believe that Armstrong is the sole writer of this autobiography based on transcript of Satchmo and his letters that are in archives of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University. Dan Morgenstern compared the original transcript to Satchmo and the differences he saw were due to editing to “changing Armstrong’s three-dot style to conventionally punctuated sentence-structure.”
