 The
Canadian constitution is a system of laws and conventions that regulates how
the country governs itself. The constitution defines the exercise of
government power upon Canadians and, to this end, is the law of laws. Above
all else, the constitution articulates Canada’s identity as a parliamentary
democracy.
The cases in this section of the Great Alberta Law Cases consequently hold the utmost
significance for all Albertans and Canadians. Whether they focus on issues
such as women’s or Aboriginal rights, or freedom of expression, these are
landmark cases in Canada’s history that reflect the development of the
country since 1867.
Read, listen and discover the details about these
remarkable episodes in Alberta’s past and learn about the people involved
and the significance of these cases for all Canadians.
The constitutional cases in the Great Alberta Law Cases
are The Cyr Case, The Righteous Anger of Queen Mother
Morning Star and The Premier vs. the Constitution. Click on
