What are the two levels of government created by the Fathers of Confederation?

  1. Local and National

  2. Federal and Provincial

  3. State and Local

  4. National and State

The correct answer is: Federal and Provincial

The two levels of government created by the Fathers of Confederation were the Federal and Provincial government. Option A, Local and National, is incorrect because the fathers of Confederation did not create a level of government specifically for local affairs. Option C, State and Local, is incorrect because the fathers of Confederation were Canadians and thus did not create a state level of government. Option D, National and State, is incorrect because the fathers of Confederation did not recognize the concept of states as separate entities within Canada. Instead, they established the national government as well as provincial governments to oversee certain regional and provincial matters.
