3. Just societies are committed to and respect the autonomy of their citizens. C1: Equality of condition requires equal autonomy. C2: An autonomous society is also an egalitarian society. Nielsen states ”I shall argue…that autonomy cannot be widespread or secure in a society which is not egalitarian: where, that is, equality is not also a fundamental value which has an operative role within the society” (Munson 708).
Conversely, Philip L. Bryden argues against Martin, concluding that the charter is indeed democratic and Canadian. This essay agrees with Bryden’s argument that the Charter is not un-Canadian or antidemocratic, citing problems with Martin’s argument and making reasons as to why the Charter is such a fundamental part of Canadian Constitution. Robert Martin bases one part of his argument on the idea that the Charter is antidemocratic. He clarifies himself in his introduction, not faulting the Charter in and of its own for being antidemocratic, but instead claiming that the application of the Charter by humans is what is antidemocratic. Martin’s argument on how the Charter is antidemocratic has six main premises.
The United Nations defines the rights written very cautiously in the Declaration of Human Rights. They are defined cautiously to prevent any misinterpretation that may occur. Some people may argue that by defining the rights so cautiously that the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights doesn’t cover everything. For example article 23 talks about how everyone has a right to form and join trade unions for the protection of his or her interests. Some citizens may argue that in Michigan allowing certain state service workers to be exempt does not follow the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
Freedom Essay Some people think that having freedom in a country is a good thing, and other people think it’s a bad thing. Either people can do good things with their freedom or bad things with it. In his short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about be accepted.

Independence As a human being in this world there are certain rights that can not and should not be taken from us. Jefferson defines those rights of a citizen as “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”(Jefferson 78). When those freedoms are threatened we wont just watch them be taken from us we will stand together and fight for the rights god has given us. Jefferson was someone who saw that we needed to break away from the crown to secure our rights as a free nation. One example Jefferson gives to prove this is “He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation
“The Charter of Rights and Freedoms says you can be equal and different at the same time. That’s the purpose of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: to protect your freedoms and to protect who you are – your place in this great nation. It says we can be different from one another, and that we are all first-class citizens too.” –Denis Coderre. As a Canadian Citizen, I feel very lucky that there is something like the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to affirm and enhance my identity. The Charter allows me to have freedoms, and rights to protect me from things like discrimination, and abrupt searches without reason backed by evidence, etc.

B. The Primary Interdependent Parties of the Conflict The primary interdependent parties involved in the "Canada - Free Québec" conflict are the separatists of Québec and the rest of the people of Québec. The goals of the Québécois separatists involve Québec's designation as a distinct society which would enable Québec to govern itself while still remaining a part Canada. These separatists consider themselves a distinct society and therefore want the right to have their own government and laws. The remainders of the peoples of Québec have a non-separatist view.
When it comes to social justice diversity should not be an issue. As for the United States and Canada they both believe that diversity could not be an issue when it comes to social justice. Everyone should have Civil Liberties. In Canada social justice is a concept based upon the belief that each group has the rights to civil liberties.
