The English common law and the English constitution, if it cannot be said they are one and the same, are inextricably linked to one another. They are joined at the head; the one cannot taken without the other. The English constitution was formed by the common law and it continues to move with it; and, the common law was allowed to grow and flourish, because of the English constitution. The English constitution is without a measurable depth and breadth; it is, by its nature, undefinable; it is has never been written down in one spot, nor could it be.

Canadian Constitutional Documents Quota pars operis tanti nobis committur? - Seneca Preface Unlike the majority of countries whose basic law derives from one document, Canada's basic law derives not only from a set of documents known as Constitution Acts, but also a set of unwritten laws and conventions. This comprises of all the acts passed since 1867 up to and including 1993. As a result, all constitutional documents during that time period have the force of law. This is analogous to laying a foundation ( Constitution Act, 1867 ) and then building upon it and modifying it as the need arises (the successive acts). The Documents There are other documents that relate to Canada's development as a country, but they do not hold the force of law as each act was superseded by the other until the passing and proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1867 . Also, in recent history there have been several proposals to amend the constitution which failed to get ratified. Below you will find a list of some of these constitutional documents as well as a comprehensive table culled from Appendix II of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, and updated to include the most recent constitutional enactments.

All of the Canadian Constitutional Documents are now available online. All of these documents are in English. A committee was struck years ago to have them translated into an official French version, but to the best of our knowledge, it just handed in its report in 1993 and there has been no French version produced yet that is `authorative.' For more details on this, refer to section 55 of the Constitution Act, 1982.

QUICK GUIDE REFERENDUMS 1981: Night of the Long Knives - A Myth? CRIC, Opinion Canada , May 6, 1999. ) Lougheed initiated the exchange as an attempt to retrace the chronology of events that produced the November 5, 1981 entente, agreed to by all the provinces with the exception of Quebec, on a proposal to modify the Canadian constitution. During the morning session of the conference on November 4th, the federal government presented its Referendum proposal. In effect the Prime minister suggested patriation, which would require legislation by the United Kingdom Parliament, followed by further discussion on the Charter of Rights and on the amending formula (the federal preference on both subjects would have been contained in legislation approved by the United Kingdom). At the end of two years separate referenda would be held, one on the amending formula and one on the Charter of Rights. I inquired of Mr. Trudeau whether or not voting on the referenda he proposed would be conducted on a regional or provincial basis. He replied, regional, although he was vague as to how the votes would be counted in the West. I emphasized that the Government of Alberta was opposed to the regional approach, such as found in the Victoria amending formula, because it was fundamental to Alberta that the constitution reflect the equality of provinces. I further argued strongly against the referendum approach because of the divisive effect on the country.

Contact for: Canadian Constitution Term Paper Title Canadian Constitution # of Words # of Pages (250 words per page double spaced) Canadian Constitution What does every man deserve? The Canadian Constitution states, “Every man shall deserve equal rights under the law.” Sister Helen from Dead Man Walking says, “Every man deserves a second chance.” My mother rarely hesitates to mention, “Every man deserves a good kick in the ass.” Like most things in life, the answer to this befuddling question is an ironic one: what every man deserves is something no man would ever admit to wanting. Throughout the history of western civilization, males have always been perceived as the dominant gender. They have historically possessed more rights than women have, and were granted many more privileges. Even today, men are generally thought to be “stronger” than women, resulting in a natural discrimination towards females. It is natural that women would find this ridiculously unfair, and they, as unified bodies, began fighting for sexual impartiality. From within this battle, however, a controversial concept emerged: feminism. The mentality in the female population was, “anything you can do, I can do better,” and countless mind-numbing debates ensued. As society progressed, women eventually prevailed and the sexist perception of male dominance faded, only to reveal an awkward state of equality. Society today is a harsh compromise between feminist ideals and social tradition. In our attempts to make our culture “politically correct,” all we ha...

CANADIAN CONSTITUTION, ENGLISH COLONIAL LAW AND ETHNOCENTRISIM WHAT IS THE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION? A venerable system of fundamental laws, policies and principles that describe how a government or state is organized and will function. Establishes the powers of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, Allocates powers to different levels of government, such as federal, provincial, and municipal. Indicates the rights of each citizen in relationship to each other and to the government, i.e., the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982). Outlines how the Constitution is to be amended. The Canadian Constitution is made up of a nucleus of written systematically arranged rules/laws. However, there are also unwritten rules called Conventions Conventions could also be described as general agreements or longstanding customs on the usages and practices of social life. Both the Nucleus and the Conventions have been interpreted by the courts, and their decisions have lead to Constitutional case law. Needlesstosay, overtime a vast labyrinth of decisions have been made, making the Constitution a multi-facted document and rather outrageous document in terms of its compilation. (see below) Canada's Constitution is extremely complicated because it was not created from a single draft, like the constitution of the United States. The Canadian Constitution is a quilt, that has been put together piece by piece, with some pieces more elaborate than others (somewhat like the federal tax laws!).

Year List The Patriation Of The Canadian Constitution: Not An Auspicious Occasion SASKATCHEWAN INDIAN MAY 1982 v12 n04 p10 April 17, 1982 was proclaimed as a day of mourning for the aboriginal peoples of Canada. It was the day the British Crown irreversibly betrayed every treaty, proclamation, agreement, trust and promise made with the Indian Nations of Canada. To take a share in our land the British Crown promised to protect Indian lands and to protect Indian jurisdiction on those lands, to protect the Indian way of life. Britain soon forgot her promises and the trickle of settlers became a flood. For the last three years Chiefs, Indian organizations and leaders and ordinary Indian people have written to the Queen to inform her that the treaties were endangered by a new settler government constitution. She resolutely refused to respond or to meet us though graciously accepted our gifts to her when we visited her homeland. When the Queen of Great Britain came to our homeland to proclaim the settler government's constitution, there were no similar acts of courtesy to the Indian leaders. There was no acknowledgement of so many letters to her from the Indian people outlining just how the treaties and the Royal Proclamation would no longer be safeguarded in Canada's Constitution. She could not pretend we no longer existed: the two-month "Indian debate" in Westminster precluded that. So she just pretended that we were happy in the new arrangement that would sanction one of the most massive land grabs in history.

Canadian Constitutional Law. Canadian Constitutional Lawyers. Canadian Constitutional Lawyers Canada's law derives not only from a set of documents known as Constitution Acts , but also a set of unwritten laws and conventions. This comprises all of the acts passed since 1867. As a result, all constitutional documents during that time period have the force of law. The British North America Act, 1867 The British North America Act , 1867 (BNA Act, 1867) was passed by the British Parliament in 1867. It is the law that created the Canadian Confederation. Many other Acts called British North America Act were later passed, amending the 1867 Act, or adding to it. A federation usually consists of at least two main levels of government - local states or provinces, and a federal government. Canada is no different. However, these levels can't share the same powers, as that would lead to direct competition and chaos. The BNA Act was passed to set the legal ground rules for Canada, and divvy up the powers between the provinces and the federal government.

Trudeau, Quebec and the Canadian Constitution Claude Bélanger, Department of History, Marianopolis College Born on October 18, 1919, Pierre Trudeau was the first Prime Minister of Canada from the XXth century; he was to reflect a new and modern Canada with which the electors were to relate easily. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1965 after spending years seemingly aimlessly wandering from place to place and cause to cause. He was re-elected in 1968, 1972, 1974, 1979 and l980. He retired from politics in 1984. In 1967, Trudeau was appointed Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of Canada; in this capacity, he championed the omnibus bill to reform the criminal code of Canada, modernising a number of clauses (abortion, divorce, homosexuality) that were sorely in need of change. He became leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in 1968 and remained as the head of the Party until 1984. Trudeau was Prime Minister of Canada from 1968-1979 and 1980-1984. In 1972, he led a minority government and in 1979 he was defeated by Joseph Clark in a close election.
