''An Appeal to the Canadian Institute on the Rectification of Parliament'' is a political essay written by Sandford Fleming in 1892. The book is a call to action for the Canadian Institute, urging them to take a stand on the issue of parliamentary reform. Fleming argues that the Canadian parliament is in need of significant changes in order to better represent the interests of the people. He suggests that the current system is flawed and that it is dominated by a small group of elites who are not truly representative of the Canadian population. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the issue. Fleming begins by discussing the history of parliamentary reform in Canada, highlighting the various attempts that have been made over the years to improve the system. He then goes on to outline his own proposals for reform, which include the introduction of proportional representation and the establishment of term limits for members of parliament. Throughout the book, Fleming makes a passionate argument for the importance of parliamentary reform. He argues that the current system is failing the Canadian people and that it is time for a change. He also highlights the potential benefits of reform, such as increased transparency and accountability, as well as greater representation for marginalized groups. Overall, ''An Appeal to the Canadian Institute on the Rectification of Parliament'' is a thought-provoking and persuasive essay that remains relevant to this day. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Canadian politics or the history of parliamentary reform.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
