Unlike the majority of countries whose basic law derives from one document, Canada's basic law derives not only from a set of documents known as Constitution Acts, but also a set of unwritten laws and conventions. This comprises all the acts passed since 1867 up to and including 1998. As a result, all constitutional documents during that time period have the force of law. 3, record 3, English, - force%20of%20law
