Talk:Constitution of Canada

There are several problems in the lead:

• "the country's constitution is an amalgamation of codified acts and uncodified traditions and conventions." I suggest we remove this as it is vague and not what the source says (Russell[https://books.google.ca/books?id=5KomEXgxvMcC&lpg=PA21&pg=PA21#v=onepage&q&f=false]).
• "Canadian constitutional law relates to the interpretation and application of the constitution." Same thing in other countries, no reason to mention.

While I know that other countries (Britain, Canada etc.) call it the War of Independence, here in the US it's called the "Revolutionary War". I edited the part where it referenced that just to include what it is called in the US. Bubba2018 (talk) 00:10, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

:Given that the article is about Canada, and is written in Canadian English, it's unnecessary to include the American name. I've removed it as such. If there is any doubt as to what it refers to that can be cleared up by clicking the link. - BilCat (talk) 00:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Referring to The Constitution Act, 1982, the 'History of the Constitution" section states: 'The act also codified many previously oral constitutional conventions and made amendment of the constitution in general significantly more difficult.' As a U.S reader of one branch of English I found this sentence conflicted (at worst) or in need of a comma (at best). After reading the entire article and this lively talk page, I'm proposing '...made amendment of the constitution generally more difficult.' Perhaps a process dependent on internal provinces and new code consensus rises to the level of "significantly more difficult' but eliminating even a rubber stamp dependence on an overseas parliament would empower on some level. Changes in a U.S. constitutional system that requires super majorities, values capitalism over human conditions and required 203 years to ratify our most recent amendment, might benchmark 'difficult' but 'significantly more difficult' depends on the relative experiences of Canadians, pre and post-1982.
