The Charlottetown Accord failed due to the amount of clauses it had in it, each of those designed to benefit a certain group. With all these clauses it was very easy to find faults in it. also 54.5 Canadian voters rejected the Accord. It was rejected the most in B.C, where 68.3 percent voted no. A lot of people in B.C felt that Quebec was being given too much power in the accord. On the other hand, Quebec believed that it wasn't receiving enough power (even though they were going to be given 25 seats in the House of Commons regardless their size of population!) They were also fearing the Aboriginal self-government that would have been granted in this accord, because it would affect a large population of northern Quebec.
