Rights And Responsibilities Charter: Case Study

This charter means that everyone no matter what race, religion, sex, national origin, age or mental and physical abilities they have they are protected. The charter allows people to have basic human fundamental rights that most government rules and regulations were restricting before it came into act. The freedom of speech, religion and to associate yourself with whoever you want are just some of those rights that are being offered with the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Finally the last achievements that Pierre Trudeau did that assisted in making Canada better are the legalization of laws on abortion, homosexuality and lotteries.

In the Charter of Liberties and Privileges, which took effect on October 30th, 1683, Governor Thomas Dongan lists many key advances. The reason for these demands was due to citizens of Long Island refusing to pay taxes levied without their consent. The Charter of Liberties and Privileges asserted people the right to self-government, self-taxation, freedom of worship, trail by jury, and other privileges enjoyed by Englishmen.

Citizens all around the world want to be able to think and feel the way they want. In Canada, you have the freedom to think, feel, and express yourself in the way you want as long as it doesn’t harm others. In Canada, you have the right to think with a clear conscious and express your opinions without having to worry about people getting angry with you for feeling or believing something different from them. Your choice of religion is your to make without judgement. Everyone is different and everyone has different beliefs and in Canada, those beliefs are accepted and cherished. Take our government for example, some citizens believe the Conservatives should still be running the government and others believe that the Liberals should remain in control. In Canada, you have the right to gather and assemble without people trying to shut you down. Our government believes that if Canadians can express their opinions and believe their own thoughts then there will be less

One of the most misinterpreted aspects of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the freedom of expression. Group organizations have misused this much too often. In the past, many extremist groups have misused this right to protect themselves. A great example is the Westboro Baptist Church. This church is one of the many groups across North America that uses the Charter to protect themselves. The Charter protects them even though their actions and messages are harmful and not beneficial to society. If the Charter was to recognize these groups as dangerous, they wouldn’t have the chance to misuse these freedoms. Also, the fact that if a Canadian citizen were to use the excuse of the freedom of expression to defend their actions, they wouldn’t

Laura Barnett (2011, July) claims that freedom of religion on this charter is figuratively indicating that government of Canada plays a neutral role in the case of religious freedom and its major concern is to accredit the supremacy of none of religions over each other while it preserves the relationship between church and state. This means that all of religions are respected the same by the government and people have freedom of religions in all kind. For instance, activists of all religions like Islam, Jew, Buddha and others have lots of religious activities

The Charter is part of Canada’s constitution; the highest law of Canada, which sets out the framework for how Canada is to be governed. The CCORAF sets out those rights and freedoms that Canadians feel are necessary to maintain Canada as a free and democratic community. The Charter created several constitutional protections for individuals, which apply to all laws and government. However, each right comes with a responsibility that all citizens need to enforce to their daily lives. If all Canadians are capable of taking control over their duties, not only would Canada have a higher quality of life, but take a positive turn in citizenship and identity. The CCORAF is an effective way to address citizens’ needs and wants in society. The Charter states that Canada’s government is justified in restricting rights, only if they are necessary to maintain Canada’s incredible status. Although looked in a wider view, not many rights have been restricted in the past, and to come. Democratic, Equality and Legal rights are all various aspects in which the Charter protects the society’s freedoms and privileges. Voting is an excellent advantage Canadians receive, as not all countries have this beneficial opportunity ahead of them. Compared to other nations, Canada’s

The Canadian Charter of Rights has been entrenched in the Constitution Act of 1982 since 1982 and affected the lives of countless Canadians ever since it was passed, with most if not all of the effects being positive. This can be proven by the fact that the act that the act has only faced two amendments in the 35 years it has been in effect. Furthermore, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has five components; Fundamental Freedoms, Democratic Rights, Mobility Rights, Legal Rights, and Equality Rights. All of these were designed to make sure that Canadians face no discrimination, and are not denied any basic rights. This can be seen by seeing how much the quality of life for Canadians has increased over the time the Charter has been embedded in the Constitution, by how much the Charter actually does protect the rights of Canadians.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is an important milestone in Canadian history. An effort through rigorous debate and compromise gave birth to this document that defines our collective values and principles by guaranteeing and protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens. Prior to the Charter, there was no gurantee in Canada that rights and freedoms would not be taken away by legislation. The Charter also allows courts to render the constitutional duty so that any decisions made are consistent with those rights and freedoms. The Charter was established firmly in “The Constitution Act, 1982”, with the declaration of this act Canada escaped from the severe practice of concept of parliamentary supremacy. The Charter has an enormous effect on court’s decision power to award justice to important and debatable issues about policies that affect public. In awarding the verdict courts are not even reluctant to rewrite laws that violate the testament of the Charter. The judges have a duty to regulate the rulings of both provincial and federal governments which, disagree with the root value of Charter.

The necessity to limit the rights and freedoms of Canadians is illustrated and reinforced through the governments use of reasonable limits, ‘notwithstanding clause’ to limit individual rights and freedoms, and the occasional need for the government to have power extended above and beyond the limits prescribed in the Charter.

In relation to the Charter, my advice is that Josh’s conduct is not protected and the cancellation of his parole by the Adult Parole Board was not in breach of the Charter. Moreover, the conduct of Dianne and Cary is initially protected by the Charter however due to the limitations placed upon human rights it can be argued that Dianne and Cary’s conduct are indeed in breach. Additionally Victoria police in partner with AX6 are in breach of numerous rights set out in the Charter, which will be discussed in further detail.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms embody the ideals of our nation and present a series of fundamental freedoms so that citizens are enabled to receive equality and can feel safe and included within their society. One of the main things that the Charter has promoted is that the enforcement of a law does not necessarily make it fair for everyone. Different people require different treatment in order for full equality to be attained. However, at one point the Charter failed to recognize the needs of a very prevalent group – homosexuals. The Charter was approved in 1982 and devised a list of protected cases such as gender, race, religion and etcetera, but it failed to acknowledge sexual orientation. However, in 1985 a report titled

The relationship among the rights guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms and the responsibilities of Canadian citizens is a direct relationship. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms reflects Canadians and their beliefs. This can be inferred from the fact that on the Charter, the first words stated were: “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law” This goes to reflect the importance of religion "God" to Canadians, this is only one example of the Charters reflection of Canadian ideologies. As Canadians, we are held responsible for following the guidelines and seeking protection with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and to this, we are accountable under the law.
