To describe Canadian fundamental freedoms and the governments ability to subject them to laws.
1580
Fundamental freedoms are essential rights that individuals possess, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, which are protected by law. Fundamental responsibilities are the duties and obligations that individuals have towards society, such as following laws, respecting the rights of others, and actively participating in democratic processes.
Canada and the US have the same fundamental rights and freedoms. There are 31 rights and freedoms listed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and they encompass many different interpretations.
Amendments are freedoms protected by law.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Had the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms not been created Canada would more or less be the same country it is today. However there would be several significant differences: 1. Pierre Elliott Trudeau would have done signifigantly less in his time as Prime Minister 2. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the most used basis upon which other countries write their own. Without it many counties would have to base their charters off of American or British charters. 3. Canada would still be using the UK's charter rather than having their own.
Found in section 2 of the charter 1. freedom of conscience and religion 2. freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of press and other media of communication 3. freedom of peaceful assembly 4. freedom of association
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects fundamental rights, but it also allows for certain limitations when necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of others. Section 1 of the Charter permits reasonable limits on rights, provided they can be justified in a free and democratic society. This means that while individual rights are upheld, they can be restricted if such restrictions serve a compelling public interest, such as ensuring public safety or preventing harm to others. Thus, fundamental rights may be limited, but they are not outright denied; rather, the Charter seeks to balance individual freedoms with collective well-being.
