Today in class we wrote a Friday 5, finished up the last presentations on Historical Wrongs in Canada. From here we started looking at the Constitution, what a constitution is and how it is important in Canada. We understood what the BNA Act is and how it was hard for Canadians to change the constitution because it was British law and all changes needed to go through Britain. We looked at the process that Pierre Trudeau went through in 1982 in order to bring in the Constitution Act and patriate the constitution that includes our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We read pages 82-86 and created a T chart for cause and consequences of patriating the constitution. This is due for Homework on Tuesday.
Key vocab: Contitution, Constitution Act, British North America Act, patriate, amending formula
