The Clarity Act, enacted in Canada in 2000, was designed to outline the process for determining the conditions under which the federal government would recognize a province's right to secede. It established criteria for clarity in any future referendum on sovereignty, requiring that questions posed to voters be clear and unambiguous, and that a significant majority (defined as over 50%) would be needed for the federal government to consider negotiations for separation. The Act aimed to provide a framework for constitutional and legal discussions surrounding Quebec's potential secession, reflecting concerns about national unity and the implications of such a decision.
