Does China have a Bill of Rights?
China does have a Bill of Rights, however it is not effective in upholding human rights for people in China. So in practice it is different to that of the US Bill of Rights, where government knows that if it makes laws inconsistent with its Bill of Rights then the courts can rule it out. The Chinese bill of rights is not enforceable or has not been consistently enforced. China does have a bill of rights and it is entrenched in their constitution, the bill of righs is section II of their constitution. In this manner it is very much like the US bill of rights in its structure though of course the substantive matter differs.
Why did canadians push for the charter to be entrenched into the constition?
Good question! Former Canadian Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker, oversaw the draughting of the Canadian Bill of Rights in the early 1960's. It was a document that gave clarity to the fundamental rights to be enjoyed by all Canadian citizens. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, desiring to leave his own legacy on rights, replaced the Bill of Rights with the Canadian Charter of Rights in 1982. This new bill has proved to be a thorn in the side of Parliament -- for it grants previously unknown power to the courts because some sections are vague and subject to interpretation that only the courts can settle. The Bill of Rights functioned better than the Charter of Rights does today because it was less vague and less detailed. Canada would probably be better off today by reverting to the Bill of Rights.
