Parliament of Canada

The Constitution of Canada is not an instrument for the Government to restrain its people, it is an instrument for the People to restrain their government.

In a country, Law typically and exhaustively covers the complete system of law. The Constitution of Canada for example, a common law country with legislative practices in the English tradition of a Parliament, can modify the existing common law only to the extent of its express or implicit provision, but otherwise leaves the common law intact.

A code or act, which must find its source in Law, is developed, and used for simplicity. It replaces the common law in a particular area, leaving the common law inoperative unless and until the code is repealed.
