Definition of Bill of Rights
The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Bill of Rights: The Canadian Bill of rights was adopted by the Conservative government of John Diefenbaker in 1960 and was a significant, but not extremely useful, step in the evolution of human rights legislation in Canada. The Bill was not part of the nation’s highest law (the constitution) so it could be amended like any other piece of legislation and covered only federal legislation. See: CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS related information in this encyclopedia, in the legal dictionary or in the world encyclopedia of law.
