	The Persons Case
		The legal recognition of women as persons with rights was not obtained at the same time as the suffragette movement.
		Indeed, women were not legally recognized as "persons." Furthermore, when women married, they lost all of their rights.
		In its ruling, the Canadian Court stipulated that the term "person" did not apply to women, alleging that when the British North America Act was signed, jurisprudence did not consider women as "qualified persons." If the Constitution had included women in this definition, it would have been duly noted.

	PART IV. SUCCESS CASE REPLICATION
		The person with a disability should not count on the fact that he or she is disabled as a guarantee for sale.
		Some persons with disabilities may not be able to accomplish a certain task because of a specific disability; this does not mean that the person cannot be successful in setting up his or her own business after training.
		Because persons with disabilities are generally scattered across several villages and often live in remote areas, replication is the most feasible way of enabling disabled persons to improve their livelihoods while remaining in their community.

	Recommendations for Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis Among Foreign-Born Persons Report of the Working Group on ...
		National surveillance data for the decade that followed indicate that the number of TB cases among persons born in other countries increased from 4,925 in 1986 to 7,702 in 1997, and that the percentage of foreign-born cases increased from 22% to 39% of the national total.
		Because the number of foreign-born persons who are eligible for screening could be large, TB programs should use their epidemiologic profiles to prioritize and target screening to groups who are at the highest risk for TB infection, who are accessible for screening, and who are likely to complete preventive therapy.
		Persons at highest risk for infection can be identified by examining epidemiologic trends in TB disease in the community, results of previous or existing screening programs, and immigration trends.

		On the contrary, it is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States.
		This case cannot, therefore, be decided on any such narrow ground as the possible validity of a Temporary Exclusion Order under which the residents of an area are given an opportunity to leave and go elsewhere in their native land outside the boundaries of a military area.
		This exclusion of 'all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien,' from the Pacific Coast area on a plea of military necessity in the absence of martial law ought not to be approved.

	Persons Case
		In 1928, the SUPREME COURT OF CANADA unanimously decided women were not "persons" who could hold public office as Canadian senators.
		The terms of the CONSTITUTION ACT, 1867, and the historical incapacity of women to hold office under common law barred the suit of Henrietta Muir EDWARDS and her companion Alberta suffragettes.
		In 1929 the British Privy Council reversed the decision and called the exclusion of women from public office "a relic of days more barbarous than ours." The Governor General's Persons Award, for work on behalf of Canadian women, is named for the case.

		They are called the Famous Five because of their role in the Persons Case.
		The BNA Act used the word persons when referring to more than one person, and the word he when referring to a single individual, which led some to infer that as a matter of law only men were persons.
		One might think that the view that women are not persons was already an anachronism in 1927, as (white) women had already obtained the right to vote in 1918, due in considerable part to the efforts of Nellie McClung, but the Supreme Court ruled that indeed women were not persons.
