The Constitution Act 1982

The Constitution act of 1982 was only one part of the Constitution of Canada. This act was discovered on April 17th 1982. There are seven parts to the Constitution act of 1982. Part number one is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This declares that’s all Canadians have the following rights:

The Constitution act of 1982 was a great thing for Canada because so many great rights were presented to the Citizens of Canada. Canada should be grateful for the Constitution act of 1982.
