The Canadian Legal System is based on English common law, except for the province of Quebec, which follows a civil law system. It operates under a framework of federal and provincial laws, with the Constitution Act, 1867 outlining the distribution of powers between the federal and provincial governments. The system includes various courts, such as provincial courts, superior courts, and the Supreme Court of Canada, which is the highest court in the country. Legal rights are protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ensuring fairness and justice for all citizens.
