Canadian Constitution Act 1982

The Canadian Constitution Act of 1982 is a fundamental law that officially patriated Canada's constitution from Britain, meaning Canada gained full control over its constitution. It includes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees individual rights and freedoms such as free speech, equality, and justice. The Act also establishes the structure of government, including the roles of the Prime Minister, Parliament, and the provinces. It reaffirmed Canada's sovereignty and provides a legal framework for addressing constitutional issues, ensuring that fundamental rights are protected and that changes to the constitution require broad approval.
