The Crown is not only Canada's oldest continuing political
institution, but also its most pervasive, affecting the operation
of Parliament and the legislatures, the executive, the bureaucracy,
the courts, and federalism. However, many consider the Crown to be
obscure and anachronistic. David E. Smith's The Invisible Crown was
one of the first books to study the role of the Crown in Canada,
and remains a significant resource for the unique perspective it
offers on the Crown's place in politics. The Invisible Crown traces
Canada's distinctive form of federalism, with highly autonomous
provinces, to the Crown's influence. Smith concludes that the Crown
has greatly affected the development of Canadian politics due to
the country's societal, geographic, and economic conditions.
Praised by the Globe and Mail's Michael Valpy as "a thoroughly
lucid, scholarly explanation of how the Canadian constitutional
monarchy works," it is bolstered by a new foreword by the author
speaking to recent events involving the Crown and Canadian
politics, notably the prorogation of Parliament in 2008.
