Constitutional monarchy is Canada's system of government. An absolute monarchy is one where the monarch has unchecked power. A constitutional monarch, in contrast, is limited by the laws of the Constitution. Constitutional monarchs do not directly rule.

La monarchie constitutionnelle est le système du gouvernement du Canada. Dans une monarchie absolue, le monarque jouit d'un pouvoir illimité.

The holiday is celebrated on this date because it was the birthday of Queen Juliana(1909-2004). When Queen Beatrix succeeded Juliana in 1980, she decided to keep the holiday on April 30, as the weather on her own birthday, January 31, tends to prohibit the traditional outdoor festivities.

All official Honours in Canada stem from the Queen of Canada. For this reason the Crown is known as "the Fount of Honour"("fount" means "source" or "origin"). In a monarchy, Honours do not come from the people or from the country, they are a mark of the Sovereign's favour. Canadians who serve the Queen of Canada through their work for the country receive the Queen's State Honours established by Her Majesty and administered on her behalf by the Governor-General of Canada through the Honours Secretariat. 1, record 11, English, - Fount%20of%20Honour

La fête de la Fédération eut lieu le 14 juillet 1790, pendant la Révolution française, un an jour pour jour après la prise de la Bastille. C'est en 1880 que le 14 juillet devint officiellement jour de la fête nationale française, sur proposition du député Benjamin Raspail. Cette date fut retenue non seulement en commémoration du 14 juillet 1789 (prise de la Bastille) mais aussi en mémoire de la fête de la fédération. La première date ayant été une journée jugée sanglante, c'est la seconde qui emporta les suffrages sans pour autant diminuer l'importance de la première. 1, record 12, French, - f%C3%AAte%20de%20la%20F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration
