Constitution of Canada

The first edition of this text quickly established itself as the classic introduction to the Canadian constitution. Setting it in its historical context noting especially the complex interaction of national and regional societies it shows how the constitution continues to morph and shape itself. <br/><br/>These changes are explored through key constitutional themes: democracy; parliamentarism; the rule of law; federalism; human rights; and Indigenous rights and describes the country that has resulted from the interplay of these themes.<br/><br/>Clarity of expression and explanation which never veers into simplicity combined with the author's expertise makes this the ideal starting point for the student or comparative lawyer keen to gain a strong understanding of how Canadian democracy and government works.
