Abstract

The canadian charter of rights and freedoms was established as a result of the Constitution Act of 1982. its precursor was the canadian Bill of rights, dated 1960. The charter was enacted to guarantee basic human and civil rights for the people of Canada. The earlier protectionism treaty, the Bill of rights, had been deemed largely ineffective because as the Bill of rights stood in 1982, it could be easily amended by Parliament and did not have to be adopted by each provincial governing body; in effect it held no legal power. As a constitutional document, The charter only applies to laws and actions of the government, not to personal private activity. rights protected by The charter include: the right to freedom of speech, a presumption of innocence and the right to habeas corpus. Many of these were assumed, or implied rights, based on human civility, but prior to enactment of The charter, they could not be legally enforced.
