Document Summary

With a constitution similar in principle to that of the uk. On various occations high courts said it give rise to the implied bill of rights. If the constitution in principle is similar to eht uk then implies we have the same constitutional principles and rights as uk since 1867. Not stated but implied through the phrase. From 1867 and 1982 canada did not have a written bill of rights. So we had implied bill of rights. If a democratic country does not have these rights then it is not a democratic country. Can read the document in 1867 and wont see these rights because it is implied. Can appeal, change, any law it wishes as long as it doesn"t violate constitution. Governed by law, and not by arbitrary exercise of power. Only power that can be exercised is power according to law. Exercised on a whim by a powerful person. Law applies to everyone, equality before everyone.
