What does the Canadian Crown symbolize?

  1. The monarchy alone

  2. The government and its institutions

  3. The Prime Minister's authority

  4. Historical traditions

The correct answer is: The government and its institutions

The Canadian Crown symbolizes the government and its institutions, as it is the highest authority in the Canadian political system. While the monarchy is a part of the Crown, it represents much more than just the monarch alone. The Prime Minister's authority also falls under the Crown's jurisdiction, but it is not the sole symbolization of the Canadian Crown. Similarly, while historical traditions are intertwined with the concept of the Canadian Crown, they do not fully embody its meaning. The Crown is a symbol of the overall power and authority of the Canadian government and its institutions, making option B the correct choice.
