Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2026

Question: 1 / 1030

What are the two levels of government created by the Fathers of Confederation?

Municipal and Provincial

Federal and Municipal

Federal and Provincial

After the Confederation of Canada in 1867, the Fathers of Confederation established a two-level system of government federal and provincial. The federal government is responsible for national issues such as defense, international affairs, and trade, while the provincial governments have jurisdiction over matters such as education, healthcare, and natural resources. The other options, such as B and D, contain one correct level of government but do not include the second level. Option A, municipal and provincial, is incorrect as the municipal level of government is created by the provincial government rather than the Fathers of Confederation. Option D is incorrect as territories were not created by the Fathers of Confederation but instead were later added to Canada as new provinces. Therefore, option C, federal and provincial, is the most accurate answer.
