By allowing members of the federation to "go at it alone" so long as they are doing so within their(even overlapping) spheres of jurisdiction, and so long as they are doing so through legislation, the Supreme Court actually reinforces parliamentary sovereignty as an instrument of dualist federalism. Each pillar can act in full autonomy, as sovereign, without much consideration for the system in which it partakes. 1, record 1, English, - dualist%20federalism

Ainsi, le fédéralisme dualiste classique fournit la charpente du régime fédéral canadien qui repose notamment sur des pyramides parallèles, formées de normes unilatérales, adoptées par chacun des ordres de gouvernement. Dans ce contexte, le principe de la souveraineté parlementaire, dont chaque ordre est également doté, est présenté comme garant de l'autonomie de chaque partenaire de la fédération. 2, record 1, French, - f%C3%A9d%C3%A9ralisme%20dualiste

Pershing II deployment is also quite independent of moves to modernize or replace older dual-capable aircraft in the NATO inventory. But other issues will determine its ultimate fate. They include topics such as arms-control initiatives, national opposition in some countries to basing nuclear missiles there, a fear that the US may ignore European anxieties and "go it alone" with the Soviets in a zealous pursuit of apparent arms limitations, and the US "dual key" system for controlling its nuclear weapons. 2, record 3, English, - dual%20key%20system

La mise en place des unités de Pershing II n'interfère par ailleurs pratiquement pas avec les problèmes de modernisation ou de remplacement des avions de l'OTAN à mission double (classique ou nucléaire). Mais le destin final du Pershing II est subordonné au tour que prendront les choses dans d'autres domaines : initiatives nouvelles en matière de limitation des armements; opposition nationale, dans certains pays, au déploiement sur leur sol de missiles nucléaires; crainte de voir les États-Unis passer outre aux anxiétés européennes et traiter directement avec l'Union soviétique, obstinément fidèles à leur vain idéal de limitation; enfin, système de la "double clé", qui permet aux Américains de garder le contrôle de leurs armes nucléaires. 3, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20double%20cl%C3%A9
