    All officials served at the pleasure of the Lords Proprietors or the Crown. During the proprietary period, the council was comprised of appointed persons who were to look after the proprietors' interests in the new world. The council served as an advisory group to the governor during the proprietary and royal periods, as well as serving as the upper house of the legislature when the assembly was in session. When vacancies occurred in colonial offices or on the council, the governor was authorized to carry out all mandates of the proprietors, and could make a temporary appointment until the vacancy was filled by proprietary or royal commission. One member of the council was chosen as president of the group, and many council members were also colonial officials. If a governor or deputy governor was unable to carry on as chief executive because of illness, death, resignation, or absence from the colony, the president of the council became the chief executive and exercised all powers of the governor until the governor returned or a new governor was…

Individuals who apply for an appeal court position without any prior judicial experience, have their applications vetted by a screening committee composed of legal members, lay members and, more recently, a police officer. Candidates are evaluated on their professional qualifications ~including awareness of racial and gender issues! and personal characteristics and then “recommended” or “not recommended” to the Minister of Justice who retains full discretion to choose among candidates.

According to Waluchow’s article on Constitutionalism, and looking at the excerpt, we can see that constitutionalism in the richer sense is the document of the country that defines the implementation of powers and not the individual himself or herself.
