Document Summary
An introduction to institutions delimiting the practice of citizenship in canada and the critical values they embody. Marshall: citizenship is a status bestowed on those who are full members of the community. All who possess the status are equal in respect to the rights and duties with which the status is endowed. " p149. Marshall sees the content of citizenship as developing over time, from civil rights ( liberty of the person, freedom of speech, thought and faith, the right to own property and conclude valid contracts, and the right to justice ) Trying to put an end to the old system of feudal privilege. Through political rights ( right to participate in the exercise of political power ) And onto social rights ( right to live the life of a civilised being according to the standards prevailing in the society ) Enduring tension between the equality of citizenship, and the inequality of the growing capitalism.
