text_original: By an Act called the Con  stitution of 1791, Canada was divided into two pro  vinces, the Upper and the Lower. Each province had a separate system of government, consisting of a governor, an executive council appointed by the Crown, and supposed in some way to resemble the Privy Council of this country ; a legislative council, the members of which were appointed by the Crown for life ; and a representative assembly, the members of which were elected for four years.
