摘要

This thesis explores the response of citizens to the Constitution Amendment, 1987, commonly the Meech Lake Accord, by focusing on the activities of the New Brunswick Ad Hoc Committee on the Constitution. In so doing, it examines two under researched historiographical areas: the response of citizens to the Accord, particularly in New Brunswick, as well as the history and structure of second wave feminism in New Brunswick. Following the model used by constitutional historian Michael D. Behiels, this thesis employs a "bottom-up" approach to constitutional developments and arrives at the following conclusions: First, there was a profound difference in constitutional understanding between the governing elite who negotiated the Meech Lake Accord and the citizens who opposed it. This argument draws heavily on the work of political scientist Alan C. Cairns. Second, both the distinctive structure and philosophical outlook of the Ad Hoc Committee emerged from the practices of second wave feminism. Third, the actions of citizens' groups like the Ad Hoc Committee played an important role in the failure of the Accord and have had a profound impact on constitution-making in Canada.

Behiels)所采用的模型,本文采用“自下而上”的方法进行宪法发展,并得出以下结论:首先,在与梅赫谈判的执政精英之间,宪法理解存在深刻差异。雅阁湖和反对它的公民。这一论点在很大程度上借鉴了政治学家艾伦·C·凯恩斯(Alan C. Cairns)的工作。第二,特设委员会的独特结构和哲学观均源于第二波女权主义的实践。第三,特设委员会等公民团体的行动在《协定》的失败中发挥了重要作用,并对加拿大的宪法制定产生了深远的影响。
