Pols/Hist 334 Essay Statement
Samantha Twist
October 2, 2019
1. Examine some of the positive and negative effects of the Charter of Rights on the Canadian political
system. Has it provided a new avenue for disadvantaged group to change public policy? Has it eroded
the role of parliament? Does it strengthen or weaken democracy?
2. My hypothesis is that the charter of rights has not provided a new avenue for disadvantaged groups
to change public policy, has eroded the role of parliament, but has strengthened democracy.
His note: ok but many authors have argued that special interest groups, especially feminists and
genderists, could not have achieved their agenda democratically but went to sympathetic
institutions/people and courts to forward their agendas (democratic and sometimes a charter should
not be doing) and this is e.g/somebody Morton and/or Knopff, RI Mantiry most devauses brach
