If each federal system is unique in the way that its constituent power is conceived and institutionalised, what influence does the exact location of constituent power have on the processes for constitutional alteration in each constitution? Each colony had a full say in the negotiations, and each was allowed the same basic set of provincial powers [91] , but the maritime colonies of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were granted less notional representation in the federal senate [92] , and when the provinces of Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland were later added to the federation, their rights to representation in the senate were not treated equally either [93]. The procedures of the Parliament have been changed fundamentally on two occasions by the Parliament Acts and , which limit the capacity of the House of Lords to delay bills and enable them to be passed without its consent. On the other hand, the transformative pattern that characterises a devolutionary federal system is a movement from unity to a degree of plurality expressed in a shift from majority-rule within the original unitary-state towards a degree of unanimity of decision-making within the federalised state, and yet in a manner that preserves the governing authority of the institutions of the originally unitary state.

At the center of this book is the conflict between "constituent power, " the democratic force of revolutionary innovations, and "constituted power, " the fixed power of formal constitutions and central authority. This conflict, Antonio Negri argues, defines the drama of modern rebellions, from Machiavelli's Florence and Harrington's England to the American, French, and Russian revolutions.
