The Monarch Era Of Britain

The entrenchment of rights in the Canadian Constitution comes after long experience with a system of parliamentary supremacy. The American judicial tradition of treating the written constitution as fundamental law cannot have an instant Canadian counterpart. Thus, it does not follow that the Canadian courts will necessarily claim a role comparable to that of courts in the United States, nor is it clear that the representative bodies in Canada would tolerate such a judicial assertion of power. Opposition by government bodies to the Charter have already occurred in Canada, where the Parti Quebecois government of Quebec invoked the “notwithstanding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms” clause for the purpose of protecting their language laws from attack under the charter. This report will attempt to note some of the common and distinctive features of the text of the two constitutions as well as to how they differ.

Macdonald felt the key to Canada?s success, as a country, would rely on its connection to its mother country, Britain. Macdonald showed these feelings in his first address to the electors:

Canada is a huge country located between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and consists of 10 provinces. This country is the host for immigrants from all over the world with different religions and cultures. It embraces all of these diverse groups of people. It was essential that some arrangements be made to accommodate for these divers groups’ needs and ultimately in the year 1960 legislation of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was a huge step toward these affairs. The Charter was enacted by the parliament in order to respect each person’s rights and eligibilities in different areas and it is divided into subsections.

King illustrates that when the mother is questioned about her citizenship she replies ‘Blackfoot (King, 137)’. The mother regards her Blackfoot citizenship as superior her ancestors are the founding fathers of this nation. According to the Canadian Mandate “we are a nation which strongly believes in the principles behind multiculturalism and equity for all citizens.” For immigrants in Canada they are willing to give up their prior citizenship in order to be a Canadian citizen. However the mother in the story repeatedly points out the fact that being a Canadian citizen is of no value to her. The mother should not be categorized in the mandate due to her direct ties to the land. Carry Dawson confirms that for Aboriginals, loyalty to land is of greater importance than that of being a Canadian citizen. In her literary study entitled “An Indian Without a Country” at Dalhousie University she argues that for Aboriginals loyalty cannot be held equivalent at a higher status than being a Canadian citizen. Loyalty cannot be held equivalent because it “obviates the history of people with communal identities and land.” Through the use of the physical border King communicates denying the mother access from crossing the border as a metaphor for undermining Aboriginals mobility and movement.

One of the first major acts towards immigration was the Canadian Citizenships Act of 1947, which was passed by WL Mackenzie King on January 1, 1947 (Towards the Citizenship Act. Government of Canada). This act enabled non- Canadian immigrants to live in Canada regardless of their origin and were also able to apply for citizenship after 5 years of living in Canada (Ibid). Other changes included that women would not lose their citizenship if they married a non- Canadian (Erica, Gagnon. Canadian Citizenship Act, 1947). However, Canadians could lose citizenship if they adopted other citizenships (Ibid). This act was significant as Canada was the first Commonwealth country create separate citizenship, which aided in defining their independent nationhood (Towards the Citizenship Act. Government of Canada). Another pivotal movement was the introduction of the Point System in 1967, which instituted three classes of immigrants: independent class, family class and humanitarian class (A.E, Challoner. Canada's Immigration Policy). These classes categorized immigrants’ potential to be active and beneficial to productivity in Canadian society. This act also empowered for provinces to manage their own immigration laws (Ibid). Furthermore, Canadian independence was critical in

Hobbes, you are adamant in the claim that an absolute monarchy is the best type of government. However, it is clear that too much power in the hands of one individual will lead to corruption. You believe that people are prone to corruption and wrong deeds. With power solely rested on the divine rulers shoulders, should he fail, the nation will crumble. This kind of government could be toppled very easily, and a lack of a stable system set up in place should the monarch die would mean chaos would run rampant throughout the nation.

Canada’s new constitution is considered one of Canada’s building blocks to become the successful and sovereign nation it is today, and along with it came the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The constitution assessed many issues Canadians had been facing since the British North American Act (BNA) in 1867; it removed almost all aspects of Canada previously being a British colony and gave the nation its long awaited full independence. (Christiano 17-18). The constitution also provided all Canadians with a proper definition of Canadian citizenship and solidifying Canada’s unity as a nation. The goal of the constitution as described by Jean Chrétien was to “reflect a society that was more than a community of communities and indeed was one where the bonds of citizenship were strong” (Axworthy 292). The passing of the constitution was a huge success for the Trudeau government and was arguably the most important event in Canadian history since confederation in

Ishaq v. Canada (2015), is especially relevant, as Ms Ishaq is a Sunni Muslim who’s religion requires her to wear a niqab in public. Ishaq was approved to become a Canadian citizen, however she is not considered a citizen until she takes an oath of citizenship.

Canada’s immigration policy has got fairer from the middle of the century on to the end of the century. At the start of the century, Canada’s immigration policy, Canada’s immigration policy wasn’t fair but as the century comes to an end, Canada’s immigration policy became entirely different. There were a lot of racism in the first half of the century but most of this racism in the immigration policy disappeared from 1967 and on. As the years go by, Canada’s immigration policy gets a lot reasonable.

Although it is easier to speak English to communicate with others, Canada is still a country in which you are allowed to stick to your own culture. This is shown in the quote: "before they come and take away my house." "Nobody 's going to do that. This is Canada" (Engkant, pg.1). The narrator’s mother is in fear of being targeted by

There are various issues that revolve around Canadian politics. These issues can include various subjects, such as economics, multiculturalism, health care, immigration, and foreign policy. An important issue in Canada that is discussed in this essay is Canada’s constant changes to its immigration policy in order to improve its economic goals and the labour market. These issues are changing by different policies that the Canadian government are putting into place, which creates a more strict system in choosing who can immigrate into the country. Three articles that thoroughly analyze Canada’s immigration policy in order to implement these changes are the following. The first article is named: “New Directions in Immigration Policy: Canada’s

Canada is mistakenly known as a perfect country with a lot of diversity and freedom. When Canada was first settled by the French, they needed the help of the First Nations because they didn’t have a lot of information about the landscape, geography and the weather to grow crops were of Canada. The First Nations also known as the Aboriginals were not the only one mistreated by the English/ Canadian government, but all non-white immigrants were treated with little or no respect. The First Nation people have had enough of all the mistreatment and disrespect they’ve been getting from Canadians until this day.

As the 20th century comes to an end, Canada is a transcontinental nation whose interests and representatives span the face of the globe and extend into every sphere of human behaviour. However this was not always the case. When the four colonies of British North America united to create Canada on July 1, 1867, the new country's future was by no means secure. Canada was a small country, with unsettled borders, vast empty spaces, and a large powerful neighbour, the United States. Confronting these challenges was difficult for the young country. Though Canada was independent in domestic matters, Britain retained control over its foreign policy. Over the next fifty or so years, Canada's leaders and its

Women being able to vote was a huge step forward for Canadian women, but even though they could run for certain political positions, they could not be Senators. During the early twentieth century women were not legally considered “persons” and could not be Senators (Women become Persons). This act of exclusion portrayed Canada as an immature nation. A milestone with significant importance occurred in the Persons Case. The first constitution of Canada was the BNA Act (British North America Act). In this constitution it referred to a group of people as “persons” but when one individual was referenced they used the word ‘he”. The constitution restricted women from holding public office. (History Canadian resources book) The act declared that “women are persons in matters of pain and penalties, but are not persons in matters of rights and privileges.” Therefore, women could be given the same penalties as men for breaking a law, but could not receive the same basic benefits that men could. Unfair legalities like this proves that Canada was

This writer focuses on two parts of the question ‘The Tudor Reformation was a method of strengthening absolute monarchy in England.’. The first focus is the word ‘method’ and the second focus is the word ‘strengthening’. The word ‘method’ means a planned way of doing something. In this case, the question can be interpreted as ‘The Tudor Reformation was a planned and intentional affair to achieve strenghtened absolute monarchy. Also, this writer is going to put emphasis on the comparison meaning of the word ’strengthen’. Then this essay has to show how the Tudor Reformation made aboslute monarchy stronger than before and what changes did the Tudor Reformation bring out in comparison with the past. According to these focuses, the question can be understood as ‘The Tudor Reformation was a calculated event and it was to accomplish more powerful abosolute monarchy than before in England.’ However, this writer disagrees with the sentence and thinks that the Tudor Reformation was not an affair that had an intention to reinforce abosolute monarchy. Therefore, in the main body, the essay is going to concentrate on whether it was an intentional or unintentional matter that is related to strengthen absolute royal authority. Moreover, figuring out whether the absolute monarchy was consolidated than before. Finally, this essay will examine how the politics was at that time. At the end, in the conclusion part, it puts this issue aside
