Canadian Constitutional Law

Canadian Constitutional Law governs the structure and operation of Canada’s government and its legal system. It is primarily based on the Constitution Act, 1867 and the Constitution Act, 1982, which includes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This body of law outlines the powers of federal and provincial governments, protects individual rights, and sets guidelines for the legal system. It ensures that laws comply with the constitution, which is the supreme law of Canada, and provides mechanisms for resolving disputes about governmental authority and individual freedoms.
