He contributed to the drafting and completion of the 72 Resolutions, a set of proposals made at the Quebec Conference in 1864. Unfortunately, he lost his seat in the Assembly alongside of many supporters of Confederation that were driven out of the office in 1865 election. He returned to the Assembly during the 1866 by-election. His 1866’s campaign was very imprecise, promoting New Brunswickers to be for and against Confederation.

Following years of amendments and restructuring the government came up with the Constitution Act, 1982 that was created to help better show the divide between the powers that the governments held and establish the rights and freedoms of the Canadian

Around the 1970s, governments and individuals generated a number of symbols that expressively added to the Canadian identity, and in addition, some public movements added to this sentiment as well. The cause of these public movements and creation of symbols were due to the fact that Canadians were starting to feel as if they were confronted with the challenge of defining a national identity distinct from Britain and the United States. For example, in the world of radio and television, little was exclusively Canadian, thus the government created the Canadian ensign, and in 1971 this body issued requirements for Canadian programming commonly called Can-con requirements. Furthermore, hockey, frequently labelled as Canada's national sport, was beginning to be considered as a symbol of Canadian culture and identity worldwide. Hockey events, such as the winning goal scored by the Canadian national team throughout a competition with the Russian national team in the 1970s, are what make hockey a symbolic importance.

Canada is well known for its peacekeeping efforts and contributions through peacekeeping. Yet, few of the population knows of Canada’s transition to peacemaking, and how Canada aims to return to keeping peace instead creating it. Peacekeeping first transitioned to peacemaking after the Cold War. The change caused public opinion to drop, resulting in Canada declining missions, and contributing less to the UN’s peacekeeping efforts. The Canadian government became unhappy with what Canada's Peacekeeping had become, and decided to take on and complete missions in a manner unlike the way that they were completed for years prior, but in a way alike peacekeeping once was.

The failure in the Articles of Confederation begins with the failure to solidify the Peace Treaty from Great Britain and Spain in 1784. John Adams was sent by the government to Great Britain to come to terms with peace, however, when he returned it was unclear if John Adams represented the single nation or the thirteen colonies that developed in America. Due to the confusion, Great Britain capitalized on it, and refused to send the Peace Treaty that they John Adams tried to

A Canadian born artist Franklin Carmichael demonstrates the beauty of the beautiful northern Ontario landscape in his serigraph “White Falls.” Carmichael used a relatively unpopu- lar medium for the time period (Andy Warhol would popularize this method in the 1960s with his piece “Maryilyn Monroe”). Although serigraphy has been used for centuries, it was only during the 1900s that photo reactive chemicals were being invent- ed to create a photo reactive stencil. Despite the challeng- es, Carmichael successfully creates the tranquil look he desires with the silkscreen method. Using a stencil and over five colors, Carmichael labors over a piece that is both time intensive and difficult. Believing that being connected with nature was essential, “White Falls” was a piece that continued to focus on the tranquility of Canada’s beautiful scenery.

Israel, despite applying to the United Nations as soon as it received its independence, did not become a member until May 11, 1949. The intense conflict between Israel and Palestine is still relevant at the current time. In 2014, Palestine was still not considered an independent state by many countries, only increasing the already intense conflict between Israel and Palestine (Tharoor). In addition, Canada, the United States, and other European nations created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; throwing America into an entangling alliance our first president warned us about (“Milestones”). Our decision to enter into this alliance set a precedence that the United States finally joined the world stage, and would continue to play an active role in social and political conflicts not only at home, but worldwide as

As of 2007 and because of Scotland’s quest for secession, there have been calls for additional redesigns. United Kingdom-
