NewmanAlbany :State University of New York Press,2004.©20041 online resource (vii, 282 pages)SUNY series in American constitutionalismBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7914-5937-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.The Canadian constitutional reforms of 1982, which included a Charter of Rights and Freedoms analogous to the American Bill of Rights, brought about a convergence with American constitutional law. As in the U.S., Canadian courts have shown themselves highly protective of individual rights, and they have not been shy about assuming a leading and sometimes controversial political role in striking down legislation. In clear and easy-to-understand language, the contributors not only chart, but also explore, the reasons for areas of similarity and difference in the constitutional politics of Canada and the United States.
