Answer 1

The Constitution presents the basic skeleton or framework for Canada’s permissible scheme. It generates the basic policy for Canadian society and its legal and political scheme. The Constitution is as well the highest source of law. In Section 52(1) of the Constitution states: “The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law of Canada, as well as any law that is not consistent with the provisions of the Constitution is to the extent of the variation, of no effect or force.”

The Constitution is moreover extremely hard to change the common amending formula requires the consent of Parliament as well as the consent of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the provinces, which represent at least 50% of Canada’s population.
