A. Thesis:
 Monarchy is the finest form of governance for Canada because it
serves as the foundation for the Canadian constitution to function
properly.

B. Introduction:

The fairness and enforcement of law in Canada is due to our

constitutional approach and we must agree that Monarchy as a
form of government has done the best in the fulfillment of law and
administration in our country. Furthermore, after Her Majesty's
death in 2022, many individuals had already begun contemplating
the abolition of monarchy in Canada, but what they had not
considered are the repercussions it may have on our country in the
future. The crown is the head of all states and with its removal we
want someone in replacement and who knows that it would work in
Canada or not. It is also difficult for all of the provinces to get
together and agree that the monarchy should be abolished.
Canada’s past relations with the British government also declares
that how feasible monarchy is for Canada and its disintegration
would definitely create some holes in Canada’s relation with the
Brits. On top of that, the abolition of monarchy in Canada would
necessitate a thorough restructuring of our political structure,
which might result in political dysfunction. This essay would
discuss that Monarchy is boon for Canada and how it forms the
backbone of our constitutional framework.
