The 72 Resolutions were produced at which conference?

• A. London Conference (1866–67)
• B. Charlottetown Conference (1864)
• C. Quebec Conference (1864–65)
• D. Ottawa Conference (1867)

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is identifying where the formal plan for Confederation was crafted. The 72 Resolutions were produced at the Quebec Conference in 1864–65, when delegates from the British North American colonies gathered to map out a federal union. These resolutions laid out a detailed blueprint for a new federation—defining a central government with specific powers, a system of representation, and the division of powers between national and provincial authorities. That blueprint later became the basis for the British North America Act of 1867. The Charlottetown Conference earlier focused on Maritime union, while the London Conference refined and expanded the plan, and the Ottawa event isn’t the conference tied to the 72 Resolutions.
