Canada began with multiple british colonies our first constitution document were simple british statues that spelled out authorities of the colonies to govern/ make laws for themselves (structure and power) Pre-1982 constitution: the constitution act, 1867: the preamble. Don t use for all, only for big, complex, important statue (march 29th, the statue was passed but did not come into effect until july 1st canada day) The purpose of a preamble: introduce it purposes, indicate importance and what it is trying to achieve. Implied bill of rights arise from interpretation of preamble with a constitution similar in principle to that of the united. Kingdom : this phrase implies that we must have same rights and freedom that britain had as of 1867. Some people may be corrupted, but if they get caught they are punished. Even people who get acquitted they have submitted themselves to the law, they went through a legal process.
