Democratic Rights

From: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

$4.40

Chapter 4 deals with judicial decisions regarding the “democratic rights” — for example, whether prisoners can vote, whether the Charter might force a more equitable distribution of voters between urban and rural ridings, and what constitutes fair regulation election campaigns. The chapter also considers some significant non-Charter democratic rights decisions, such as the Quebec Secession Reference.
