In 1982, the new Constitution Act allowed Canadians to change the Constitution without asking the British government's approval.
The term for bringing home the Constitution in 1982 refers to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution. This process involved the Canada Act, also known as the Constitution Act, 1982, which transferred the authority to amend the Constitution from the British Parliament to Canada. It also included the addition of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects individual rights and freedoms in Canada.
The Canada Act 1982 contains the Canadian Constitution, and made Canada a sovereign country.
The Canadian Constitution was patriated on April 17, 1982, when the Constitution Act, 1982, was enacted. This act included the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms to all Canadians. The patriation process marked a significant moment in Canada's history, as it enabled the country to amend its constitution without requiring approval from the British Parliament.
The Constitution Act, 1982 created the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and set the formula for making future constitutional amendments. The parallel legislation passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom made the Constitution Act, 1867 entirely a Canadian piece of legislation, ensuring that Canada would now be able to make any constitutional amendments it wished without the participation of the United Kingdom.
