Foundations of Canadian Law

Treaties

Treaties helped Canada make agreements and come to peace with provinces and territories.

Treaties are mainly used for settling land, ending wars, and disputes.

Treaties are agreements made with the Government of Canada and indigenous groups, provinces, and territories.

Early Adversarial System

How Did This Help Foundate Canadian Law?

The adversarial system helped foundate Canadian Law by having two opposing parties instead of two opposing people.

The Early Adversarial System is when two advocates represent a persons case in front of a group people. (Jury!)

First Nations Customs

First Nations Customs helped made the Government recognize that indigenous people owned the land first. And that they have the right to freely pursue their culture.

First Nations Customs is Canada's legal recognition of indigenous ancesters owning land before the Government did.

Roman Law

Roman Law inspired Canadian Law by having laws not only in legislation but having laws written.

Roman Law is based on the tradiontal law that was created in 1453. Roman Law laws includes non written laws!

Ancient Rome's legal system was the Roman Law.

Mosaic Law

Mosaic Law impacted almost every legal system there is. Each ten commandent makes sense to everyone. Example: equality for everyone, and "thou shall not kill," and "thou shall not steal."

Mosaic Law holds many religious commandments.

Mosaic Law starts with the ten commandments. These ten commandments goes over criminal matters.

Mosaic Law is the law that God gave Moses in the bible.

The Code of Hummurabi

How Did This Foundate Canadian Law?

The code of Hummrabi impacted Canadian Law because it helped set methods of thoughts and morals.

Why is the Code of Hummurabi so important?

The code of Hummurabi is important because those laws are the earliest completed written codes from Ancient time. Those codes have served as a rolemodel for establishing justice.

The Code of Hummurabi is called the "longest, best-organised, and best presevered legal text." The term "eye for an eye" came from The Code of Hummurabi.

The Code of Hummurabi is a Babylonian text, made in the 18-hundreds. It was written by King Hummurabi.
