Comparative Constitutional Law and Policy

Description:

This book examines the growing global influence of Canada's Constitution and Supreme Court on courts confronting issues involving human rights.

Synopsis:

In this volume, leading scholars and jurists discuss the evolution of the Canadian Constitution since the British North America Act 1867; the role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution as a 'living tree' capable of application to new legal issues; and the growing influence of both the Constitution, with its entrenched Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the decisions of the Court on other constitutional courts dealing with a wide range of issues pertaining to human rights. The contributors assess the extent and ways in which the Canadian Constitution accommodates the cultural diversity of the country's territories and peoples while ensuring the universal applicability of its provisions; the role of the Court in interpreting and applying the Constitution; and the growing global influence of both provisions of the Constitution and decisions of the Court on legislatures and courts in other countries.
