Terrorism and the Constitution is organized in four parts. The first provides an historical account of federal investigations of First Amendment activities, focusing on the FBI’s investigative activities prior to 9/11.

To do this, the authors

The Constitution Act of 1982, or more commonly known as, “The Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” constitutionally entrenched fundamental civil liberties, which have protected Canadians from both federal and provincial legislative imposition.
