Canada is a parliamentary democracy: its system of government holds that the law is the supreme authority.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy, which means that we recognize the queen or king as the head of state, while the prime minister is the head of the government. Federal o this level of government deals with areas of law listed in the constitutional act, 1867 and that generally affect the whole country.
