ozzyGrl Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 hehe yeah its me again. I ran through a background on the Charter of Rights and freedoms in Canada, but i was wondering about the following things. -How does the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms reflect a changing perspective on the relationship between the individual and the state? -What has been the role of the courts in interpreting the charter? -Have Canadians lost faith in the ability of their elected representatives to resolve contentious identity based issues and turned, instead to the judiciary? -Has this process, rooted in the provisions of the charter, “judicialised politics and politicized the judiciary” as some observers claim? Can anyone help me? thanks =) Quote
Figleaf Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 -How does the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms reflect a changing perspective on the relationship between the individual and the state? You need to visit a library for that one. Almost any public library will have some kind of books on that. Ask a librarian. You can use the bibliography in the books to find more sources for further reading. -What has been the role of the courts in interpreting the charter? Google search 'supreme court of canada'. The official website for the court has many of their major decisions available there. -Have Canadians lost faith in the ability of their elected representatives to resolve contentious identity based issues and turned, instead to the judiciary? Not totally. -Has this process, rooted in the provisions of the charter, “judicialised politics and politicized the judiciary” as some observers claim? No. Quote
