Making+Laws

1.a)Municipal councils b)Aboriginal councis c)Provincial and territorial legislatures d)Federal Parliament e) Question--)The government is responsible for making laws. State would be responsible.


 * I'm not sure what this means? They are all levels of government, and if governments can make laws does that mean all levels can make laws?** No not everybody can make laws and if laws are made they are to suit eveybody, because nobody is higher than laws!

2. Law is a cultural Construct- to learn how to except every different race and skin type and to know to treat everybody equally.
 * This is not the correct answer. Laws are different for each culture. I advised you to look at my powerpoint to see what this means. We have been talking about and researching the way that law changes over time. Do we create laws to protect our culture? When our culture changes does the law change as well? Is law a representation of culture?** Law changes depending on the situations for example with treaties, those laws havent been changed since they've been made. There still promised houses and food and land. So when you ask that its hard to say because law changes so its equal to everybody.

3. a) Women- Women have been treated very poorly until about the 1970's when there was women rights and they could vote and have jobs with the opposite sex. Since then the rights are getting better. Before the 1970's women had no right and could not vote no matter what, they could also no get a job with a boy. Cause they thought that women weren't good enough and couldn't work that well as a guy.
 * Okay, but the writing on this is not good at all and if impacts your ability to make a clear explanation.** Women could not vote until the 1970's which mean that they had no right in the law system that had no say!!

The other provinces followed suit by 1922, with the exception of Québec, where women were denied the vote until 1940. ====**Women in the Legal Profession-**Although in 1929 women gained recognition as persons for the purposes of appointment to the Senate, in the intervening years relatively few women have been appointed to that body. Through 1995, 342 appointees were men, while 38 were women, or 10% of the total. Twenty-three percent of the 1996 Senate are women.====
 * Women being able to Vote**- Around the end of the 19th century women got the right to vote fully. First Nations women did not earn the right to vote until the 1960s.
