From an institutional viewpoint the Canadian state is a fusion of which of the following two elements? · The American parliamentary system and the British House of Lords · The British parliamentary system and the American Senate · The British parliamentary system and American-styled federalism · The American parliamentary system and British federalism
The correct option is C- The British parliamentary system and American-styled federalism
The Canadian system takes the parliamentary system of Britain, where the Prime Minister is the de facto head of the government and member of parliaments are elected.

The states have substantial rights (for example Quebec has its own official language).
