The Ninety-Two Resolutions were drafted by Louis-Joseph Papineau and other members of the Parti patriote of Lower Canada in 1834.
To ensure that the views of the Legislative Assembly be understood by the British House of Commons, the Parti patriote had sent its own delegation to London in order to submit a memoir and a petition signed by 78,000 people.
The Resolutions proved divisive, with some moderate supporters of the Parti patriote voting against them, such as John Neilson and Frédéric-Auguste Quesnel.
Under the Constitutional Act of 1791, Lower Canada was given an elected legislative assembly, but members of the upper house were appointed by the governor of the colony.
In response, the British government appointed the Royal Commission for the Investigation of all Grievances Affecting His Majesty's Subjects of Lower Canada, chaired by the Governor, the Earl of Gosford, which produced several reports on the issues raised by the Resolutions.
