Yes, Canada's constitution is known as the Constitution Act, 1867. It contains many important parts of Canadian law. It deals with the division of powers in government and states that Parliament must "make laws for the peace, order and good government of Canada." It contains the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which dictate the rights that are applicable to all persons in Canada (even if they're just visiting) as well as the rights held by citizens.
==================================================================
The "Peace, Order and good Government" clause in section 91 of the Act is not a "requirement" as such. Rather, it is a "residual" clause. It reserves to the federal government those matters not enumerated in section 92 of the Act as being exclusively provincial "heads of power."
The most important document of Canada's constitution is the Constitution Act, 1982.

Technically, the Dominions are no longer referred to as Dominions, but rather, as Realms. However, whichever name you refer to it by, Canada continues to remain one.
=============================================================
Canada became a nation on July 1, 1867. Canada was the very first country to achieve its independence by means of legislation.
The term "dominion" was never part of Canada's name. It is merely a descriptive term.
Canada has a Constitution which, like that of other nations, has been amended from time to time.
Not in any legal manner, and for the record, the Canadian Constitution isn't like the American Constitution in the sense that it isn't one "Neat" document, it's a compilation of many separate documents.
Canada's current constitution was during the Phillipene's war and it was a Democratic party.
Well, the Canadian constitution was first made in 1867 by the British parrliament and in the modern time (which is now) was made in 1982!!!!
YOUR WELCOME!!!!!!! :)
It must be remembered that the USA is not the only country with a constitution.
It means exactly that it has its own. As do many other countries.
1982
Canada did not sign the U.S. Constitution, because Canada is not part of the United States.The Constitution of Canada was signed in 1867 as an act of the British Parliament, officially called the British North America Act 1867. In 1982, the Canadian constitution was officially patriated, meaning that it stands on its own under Canada's sovereign authority, rather than being officially under the authority of the British Parliament. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is part of the 1982 constitution.
Canada started its own honours system with the Order of Canada in 1967, the centennial of Confederation.
Canada is NOT under any thing. We have a democratic government led by a prime minister that we have voted in, and that we can also throw out with a vote of no confidence. We have our own constitution.

In Canada it meant that we were no longer operating under the English constitution. Our own constitution Okayed by the queen was brought into play.
Depending on how one defines "autonomy" the answer will vary. With respect to political autonomy, in 1867, Canada was styled a separate "dominion" with authority to establish its own representative government. In 1931, Canada was given power to pass and amend its own laws without final approval of the British Parliament, except for those laws which were "Constitutional" in character. In 1982, Canada was given power to amend its own Constitution, thus divesting Britain of any remaining legislative authority over Canada.
It hasn't. Canada is its own country.
Popular Sovereignty: The government gets its authority from the people and reflects their will. What does it say in the U.S Constitution? it says The preamble says, "We the people of the United States of America do ordain and establish this Constitution..." which indicates that government power comes from the people. In the Japanese Constitution it begins by saying that the government's comes from the people and shall be used by them for their own benefit.
Why did the plebeians establish their own assembly in 494 B.C.?
You can get a permit to establish your own business in USA from the US embassy.
Britain "ruled" Canada,until 1867, although Canada was part of the Dominion, we always had our own laws, we brought our Constitution home in 1982,but we still respect the Queen, and have a governor General who represents the Queen.
