Abstract
The "electroweak connection", which forms one of the cornerstones of the Standard Model of particle physics, is formulated within the framework of the Generation Model. It is shown that the electroweak connection can be derived assuming that the weak interactions are effective interactions rather than fundamental interactions, arising from a U(1)×SU(2) local gauge invariance, which is spontaneously broken by a Higgs field.
