Canada 125 : its constitutions, 1763-1982 : evolution of a democracy / directed by : J. Fernand Tanguay ; introduction by Senator Gérald A. Beaudoin, O.C., Q.C.: P60-4/5-1992E-PDF

"It is hard to imagine a country like ours which is so thoroughly studied on all continents is still being discovered by its own citizens. The various constitutions which have governed this country over time are but one aspect a lot of Canadians need to discover. It is in this vein that les Éditions du Méridien in cooperation with the Canada Communication Group-Publishing is presenting this album, containing all the major texts of our current constitution and the previous ones to assist us in appreciating the rapid evolution towards democracy (1791) and towards full sovereignty (1931). This album does not pretend to replace text books in constitutional law which contain additional technical material, but rather intends to offer Canadians on this important occasion an overview of the legislative acts which brought Canada together, the Canada we know today - our Canada"--Our Canada, pages 11-12.
