Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Equality Rights
-The right to be treated equally and without discrimination regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, economic class, sexuality, physical and mental ability, or religion.
Why?
It's important for everybody to be treated equally so everyone feels safe. People should not face future disadvantages based off the things they were born as/with.
Why?
Democratic Rights
Democratic Rights
-Every person with citizenship, age 16 and up, has the right to vote in elections
-People in prison (previously or currently) have the right to vote in elections
Why Would Everyone Sixteen and Up Be Able To Vote?
Why?
Voting is a big part of democracy. It gives people a choice on who is leading them and controlling the space they're living in. This is important because without voting, people aren't given the opportunity to choose who is controlling things that affect their everyday lives.
Why Would I Let People In Prison Vote?
Why?
Prison is not a great place and I believe prisoners should have the right to choose who is controlling their environment. This is unconditional of past wrongs.
Legal Rights
Legal Rights
-The right to deny police officers entry to search your house without a warrant
-The right to a fair trial
-The right to be assumed innocent before proven guilty
-The right to not have to answer questioning without a lawyer present
Why Would People Have The Right To Deny Cops Entry Without A Warrant?
Why?
If the police don't have a warrant to search your house chances are they don't have a good reason to search your house. A house is private property and the police should not enter without just cause.
Why Would Everyone Have The Right to A Fair Trial?
Why?
Without a fair trial, it's easier to blame crimes on people with circumstantial evidence. It is morally wrong to put a person in jail without knowing the complete story.
Why Would The Right to Be Assumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty Be In My Charter?
Why?
If the judge assumes you're guilty immediately, it will be difficult for them to see the case without bias. Being put in jail for a crime you didn't commit is serious and could be life-changing.
Why Would People Have The Right to Not Answer Questioning Without a Lawyer Present?
Why?
People don't generally know what can be used against them in court. Even if someone is innocent and says the wrong thing, that could be used against them. It's important for people to feel safe and like they have someone on their side, especially for somebody who has been falsely accused.
Fundamental Freedoms
Fundamental Freedoms
-Freedom of peaceful assembly/protests
-The right to choose your religion
-Freedom of expression
-Freedom of language
-The right to privacy
Why Would Everyone Have The Right To Peaceful Assembly?
Why?
It's important that everyone has the opportunity to peacefully fight for what they believe in.
Why Would Everyone Have the Right To Choose Their Religion?
Why?
Religion is not something that should be forced onto someone. It's what people believe in and not letting people choose their religion also goes against freedom of expression.
Why Would Freedom of Expression Be In My Charter?
Why
The freedom of expression allows people to share their opinions, beliefs, and thoughts. Without freedom of expression, people would be afraid to voice their concerns or ideas.
Why Would The Freedom of Language Be In My Charter?
Why?
Taking away someone's language is like taking away a part of someone. Language helps us keep in contact with our cultures and heritages and is part of our identities.
Why Would People Have The Right To Privacy?
Why?
Privacy rights make sure the government is not spying on people without reason. They make sure people are protected and what they want to keep private can be kept to themselves as long as they aren't harming others.
Human Rights and Freedoms
Human Rights and Freedoms
-The right to be free from torture and slavery
-The right to an education
Why Would People Have The Right To Not Be Tortured or Enslaved?
Why?
Torture and slavery go against human morals because they claim ownership over another human being and people are not property.
Why Would Everyone Have The Right to an Education?
Why?
Without an education, it is much more difficult to be hired for a job. Not allowing someone an education limits their success.
Mobility Rights
-The right to enter, exit, remain, or move around in the country as you wish
Mobility Rights
Why?
Why?
Citizens should be allowed to pursue work and livelihood in any region and leave the country as they please.
