Answer

) The Constitution Act, 1867<br /><br />The Constitution Act, 1867 (originally the British North America Act, 1867) is the primary document that establishes the framework of the Canadian federal system. It divides legislative powers between the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures. <br /><br />While the Charter (B) protects fundamental rights and freedoms, and the Civil Code (C) deals with private law in Quebec, neither of these establish the levels of government or outline their powers in the same way the Constitution Act does.<br />
