John Affidavit Fernandes

Human beings do not enjoy legal personhood because they have the properties of autonomy and self-determination. Rather, these properties allow them to respond to the offer of a social contract, after which the law then extends them legal rights. It is that response to the offer � the possibility of reciprocation � which motivates the legal system�s recognition of offerees� legal rights.

That's what article 1 of the Quebec Charter says.....not my fault ? :/

1. Tout �tre humain a droit � la vie, ainsi qu'� la s�ret�, � l'int�grit� et � la libert� de sa personne.

I know Laurent, I was stuck at (they are talking about an amount of persons). But I see that what Eamonn was saying was not a question but an affirmation, so it changes the whole sentence! :/

Sorry for your waste of time guys! :/ And thanks for the clear up! :)

"You have only ONE unalienable right; The right not to contract. The rest of your rights, are INALIENABLE rights; Meaning they are LEGALLY PRESUMED unless you have implicitly surrendered them.

You surrender inalienable rights when you enter commerce, and are a commodity that is bought and sold in commerce."

Janick, read this....

La Charte des droits et libert�s de la personne est une loi dite � quasi constitutionnelle � adopt�e le 27 juin 1975 par l'Assembl�e nationale du Qu�bec. Elle est entr�e en vigueur le 28 juin 19761.

And this.....

Une loi quasi constitutionnelle en droit canadien est une loi qui traite d'un sujet constitutionnel, mais qui est adopt�e selon la proc�dure normale d'adoption des lois (aucune forme de modification rigide). Les lois quasi constitutionnelles ont pr�s�ance sur les autres lois � moins que ces derni�res sp�cifient s'appliquer nonobstant la loi quasi constitutionnelle.

In Canada, the term quasi-constitutional is used for laws which remain paramount even when subsequent statutes, which contradict them, are enacted by the same legislature. This is the reverse of the normal practice, under which newer laws trump any contradictory provisions in any older statute.
