Charters of Our Freedom (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Charters of Our Freedom

Dr. Trotter has, ih' this volume, assembled in an admirable manner the important documents upon which British constitutional government is based. His introductory notes and annotations are clear and lucid. From Magna Carta to the Atlantic Charter, he has selected the most outstanding documents - those which marked definite steps forward, and he has given the text of the pertinent parts. These are linked together with interesting narrative, telling of the conditions which led up to each document, and the important results achieved.

Embracing as it does such important documents as Magna Carta, the Bill Of Rights, the British North America Act, and the Statute of West, minster, Charters of our Freedom should be the prized possession of every Canadian. Each Canadian high'school student should have a copy of this book; every school should use it as a reference text; and every Canadian man and woman should read it - the record of our liberty and how it was achieved.

The Canadian Citizenship Council collaborated in the preparation of this volume and hopes that it may be a valuable aid in promoting better understanding of our privileges and responsibilities.
