What is Canada's legal system based upon?

  1. The rule of law and due process

  2. The power of the monarchy

  3. Parliamentary decisions only

  4. Public opinion and trends

The correct answer is: The rule of law and due process

Canada's legal system is based upon the rule of law and due process, which means that all individuals, including government officials, must abide by the law and be subject to a fair trial and legal proceedings. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the foundations of Canada's legal system. The power of the monarchy does not play a significant role in Canadian law, parliamentary decisions are only one aspect of the legal system, and public opinion and trends do not determine the law.
