Which was the first British North American colony to attain full responsible government?

Nova Scotia
Newfoundland
Ontario
Quebec

The correct answer is: Nova Scotia

Responsible government is a parliamentary system where an executive government is required to maintain the confidence of the legislative assembly. This system gives elected officials power and authority over governmental decisions. Nova Scotia was the first British North American colony to attain this form of government in 1758. Newfoundland did not achieve full responsible government until 1855, Ontario in 1867, and Quebec in 1856. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
