War. Battles are not always fought with guns and blood, it can be a fight for different ideas, necessity and equality, which can be seen through Canada’s history. Canada has continues to positively impact issues concerning human rights and equality on an international scale from the early 1900s to the present day by setting a good example for other countries to follow. Some significant events such as the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Person’s Case and bringing home the constitution and the charter of rights prove this to be true.

Since these rights were applied to everyone in Canada, it provided less chance of biased laws(unfair treatment) and more equality in the nation. In addition, this event has influenced not just Canadian law but jurisprudence and the drafting of constitutions around the world these findings are consistent with the work of many other scholars. In a study done by law professors, they found that between 1946 and 2006, the primary source of inspiration for constitution-making was Canada. Not only was the overall global constitutional trend found to be one of increasing similarity to the Canadian constitution, but also the leading influence on Israel 's basic laws and the bill of rights of Hong Kong, South Africa and New Zealand (Daniel Schwartz,2012). This goes to prove that Canada’s constitution is having many effects on other countries. Consequently, the constitution and the charter of rights and freedoms resulted in a major impact on the promotion and protection of human rights. To conclude, the constitution and the charter of rights and freedoms was critical to show how involved Canada was.
