The Charter is an effective part in law making. The Constitution sets out the basic principals of government in Canada when classifies the powers of the three branches of government which is the executive, judicial, and legislative. The judicial branch makes decisions about the disputes Canadians have by interpreting how to apply the Charter. It destroys laws that limit rights in an unfair way. Our legal rights are a very important part in law making today. It functions well when people both understand their legal rights and lives up to their legal responsibilities. This law affects every aspect of our lives every day. Sometimes though, our rights are violated and because of that we go to court and try to win the case. Then if the government thinks it's a good change, they will make a law to help overcome that circumstance again. An example of this was when a deaf, new mother went to the hospital to give birth to her twins. Before, when they used to see a doctor, a non- profitable agency used to give them sign language interpreters. But when the agency was low on money, they stopped their service. After giving birth to twins, the new mother watched as the babies were taken away from her. She was unable to ask questions or get answers on what was happening. This lady and her husband, along with a friend, took this case to court. They felt that by failing to provide interpreters, the government was violating her equality rights. After bringing this case to the Supreme Court of Canada, the group won and the government provided interpreters for all deaf people.
