The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court that has the official judicially appointed power to make changes to the constitutions and statutes of Canada. The Supreme Court is part of a network of courts that deal with federal and provincial matters. The Supreme Court is the only court that can deal with all types of matters. In this document, the Supreme Court shows that it has become activist in making decisions on paper. Where the role of judicial activism is considered primarily, judges have immunity in making changes to laws, and the government has no role in appointing these laws. Secondly, there were many constitutional reforms that led to the implementation of the Charter, such as the Bill of Rights. Third, the Charter and the role of Supreme Court judges are linked in such a way that judges make the decision whether the accused has violated the Charter. There are six key groups in the Charter that protect individual rights; they interconnect in some cases, where more than one right is violated. Therefore, Supreme Court justices consider Charter cases where they make their decision based on the law or their own judgment. Judicial activism involves judges playing an active role, where they can use their opinion to create and change laws in Canadian society for the better. Judges have full authority to deal with cases that do not fit the standards of Canadian society. Judges initially have their own opinion regarding their view of the law, but use compliant methods to measure whether the law is suitable for society, such as the doctrine of tone and substance. This doctrine is used so as to analyze firstly what is the purpose of the law, secondly the view of the judges whether the law meets the jurisdiction, if the law does not meet the legislative criteria it is discarded. Especially in the judgment on the doctrine of the substance of tone
