What major changes took place in Canada in 1931 and 1982?

In 1931, Canada gained legislative independence from the British Parliament through the Statute of Westminster, which allowed the country to make its own laws without British approval, marking a significant step towards full sovereignty. In 1982, the Constitution Act was patriated, which included the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, enshrining individual rights and freedoms and allowing Canadians to amend their own Constitution without British consent. These changes were pivotal in shaping Canada's national identity and legal framework.
