The ConstitutionAct, 1982 (Schedule B of the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.)) is a part of the Constitution of Canada.
Other sections of the ConstitutionAct, 1982 that address aboriginal rights include section 25 of the Charter and section 35.1, which sets expectations for aboriginal participation in the amendment of relevant constitutional provisions.
The purpose of this section was to entrench constitutional supremacy and remove the ability of legislators to amend the constitution using simple legislation.
The text of the Constitution was originally a schedule to the Commonwealth of Australia ConstitutionAct 1900 (in full, An Act to constitute the Commonwealth of Australia), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The federal distribution of legislative powers in the Australian Constitution is effected by assigning to the Commonwealth Parliament a specified list of powers relating to a range of subjects and purposes, primarily in the 40 numbered paragraphs of section 51, and leaving any powers not thus assigned to be exercised by the states.
But a number of references in the Constitution make it clear that the authors assumed that the Queen of the United Kingdom, as head of the British Empire, would stand at the head of Australia's constitutional system, although her powers are delegated by the Constitution to the Governor-General of Australia as her representative.
