| Proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1867 |
Section 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867 (French: article 9 de la Loi constitutionnelle de 1867) is a provision of the Constitution of Canada which vests the executive power in the monarch.
The Constitution Act, 1867 is the constitutional statute which established Canada. Originally named the British North America Act, 1867, the Act continues to be the foundational statute for the Constitution of Canada, although it has been amended many times since 1867. It is now recognised as part of the supreme law of Canada.
