Who introduced responsible government in United Canada?

Lord Elgin
La Fontaine
Louis Riel
John A. Macdonald

The correct answer is: Lord Elgin

Lord Elgin introduced responsible government in United Canada. He was appointed as the Governor General of the Province of Canada in 1847 by Queen Victoria. La Fontaine, Louis Riel, and John A. Macdonald were all influential figures in Canadian history, but they did not introduce responsible government. La Fontaine was a leading advocate for responsible government and played a significant role in its implementation, but he did not introduce it. Louis Riel was a political leader in the Red River Resistance and North-West Rebellion, but he did not have a significant impact on responsible government. John A. Macdonald, as the first Prime Minister of Canada, played a crucial role in the development of responsible government, but it was ultimately introduced by Lord Elgin through the passage of the Rebellion Losses Bill in 1849.
