Who followed Halifax in electing the first representative assembly?

  1. Nova Scotia

  2. PEI and then New Brunswick

  3. Quebec

  4. Ontario

The correct answer is: PEI and then New Brunswick

PEI and then New Brunswick followed Halifax in electing the first representative assembly. Nova Scotia, C, is incorrect because Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia and they followed Halifax, so they cannot also be the answer. Quebec, C, is incorrect because Quebec was established as a colony in 1608 and had already had a representative assembly in place. Ontario, D, is incorrect because Ontario was not even a province at the time and was still part of the Province of Canada until 1867. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it follows the chronological order and includes both PEI and New Brunswick, which were the next provinces to establish a representative assembly after Halifax.
