1 März 1931 Jahr - Statute of Westminster,1931

Beschreibung:

The Statute of Westminster was the all-but-final achievement of legislative independence from Britain. Under the statute, British law would no longer apply to Canada, except where Canadians asked the British parliament to continue to legislate (appeals of Supreme Court of Canada decisions to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain continued until 1949, when Canada chose to end this practice). Canada’s federal and provincial governments could not agree on how they would pass future amendments to the British North America Act, 1867. As a result, the British parliament was asked to retain the power to amend Canada’s Constitution until Canadians could come up with their own formula for doing so.
