	Section One of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Section One of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the section of the Charter that confirms that the rights listed in that document are guaranteed.
		The equality right infringed in the process of pursuing that objective is examined, with its "importance" to those whose rights were limited evaluated; this evaluation is then balanced against a judgment as to whether the limit achieves the objective.
		An early version of the section guaranteed rights "subject only to such reasonable limits as are generally accepted in a free and democratic society with a parliamentary system of government." This wording sparked debate over what government actions could be "generally accepted," with civil libertarians arguing that the clause would render Charter rights impotent.

		Notably, the 1982 Constitution Act contained a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that countered Quebec's laws (Bill 101) regarding the protection of the French language, which Quebec had declared to be the official language of the province.
		The official language of Quebec is French, as defined by the province's Charter of the French Language; this law lays out various protections for the use of French as a vehicular language, but also provides certain rights for English speakers and speakers of aboriginal languages.
		Canadian culture was a topic of international discussion in 2003, when Canada refused to join the US-led 2003 Iraq War, moved toward legalizing same-sex marriage, and took steps towards decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

		Freedom House's annual report is widely used by scholars and politicians as the authoritative source for evaluating civil freedoms.
		As more rights are added, such as religious liberty, and these are sufficiently guaranteed so that citizens take them for granted, we call the democracy "established." The adoption of civil rights laws and their implementation has been and continues to be an evolutionary process.
		That is the case unless the religious institution is the organizing vehicle for a community's struggle for freedom or survival, as was the case with churches during the civil rights movement in the United States or the Polish effort to be free from the Soviet Union.
