17. Was unsure whether the government would be responsible or not
17.1. There were "The Great Confederation Debates" in 1870, during which the main resistance from the reformers were that if clause 15 (reading that the legislature of New Brunswick would still be under the British North America Act, during the time of Union) were to pass, then a rebellion might occur.
