Know Your Rights: Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

In this video we will look at some of our Rights and Freedoms. Canada's basic law comes from a set of documents known as Constitution Acts, here are the two basic ones:


Consolidation of Constitution Acts, 1867 to 1982

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

There are also a set of unwritten laws and conventions. This link below 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).
