Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the ‘Supremacy of God’
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:”
These are the very first words of the Charter—and note at the end the punctuation mark—a colon! This tells the reader to anticipate what comes next, especially with the first word being “whereas.”
