and regulate the most basic matters regarding the organization and operation of society and government, but also, after the addition in 1982, to guarantee the rights and freedoms of Canadian citizens. The Constitution is the ultimate form of law in Canada, but it is far from flawless. It is often criticized for its lack of accommodation of the ethical values and social rights of many people.

quality of life. This can be shown through the two different outlooks of neighbouring countries Canada and America. Whilst Canada has been known for its mixed outlook that provides healthcare, education and social programs towards its estimated 37 million members, America is fixed within the stance of capitalism.

democracy in the United Kingdom, pre modern party system, is where large bombastic speeches could change the entirety of the direction of a nation. The composition of Parliament, specifically the House of Commons, in Canada has never been through the golden age of parliamentary government, where no member had a distinct party affiliation.
