Topics covered in this essential reference include:

• Sources of constitutional law and institutions
• Constitutional conventions and unwritten principles of the constitution
• Courts, independence of judiciary and judicial review
• Constitutional interpretation
• Peace, order and good government
• Criminal law - federal and provincial jurisdiction
