Constitution of Canada
The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law in
Canada; the country's
constitution is an amalgam of codified
acts and
uncodified traditions and
conventions. It outlines Canada's
system of government, as well as the
civil rights of all Canadian citizens. The composition of the Constitution of Canada is defined in section 52(2) of the
Constitution Act, 1982 as consisting of the
Canada Act 1982 (including the Constitution Act, 1982), all acts and orders referred to in the schedule (including the
Constitution Act, 1867), and any amendments to these documents. Effectively, this includes all British legislation that predates or modifies the
British North America Act. Collectively, they are called the Constitution Acts 1867-1982. The
Supreme Court of Canada held that the list is not exhaustive and includes unwritten doctrines as well. Nevertheless, almost all constitutional
jurisprudence focuses on the Constitution Act, 1867, the Constitution Act, 1982, including the
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the so-called unwritten constitution.
