Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

Which two documents contain our rights and freedoms?

1. Magna Carta and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

2. Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence

3. Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Geneva Conventions

4. European Convention on Human Rights and Canadian Bill of Rights

The correct answer is: Magna Carta and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

The Magna Carta and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are considered the two most significant and influential documents containing rights and freedoms. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215 in England, was the first document to establish the principle that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. It also guaranteed certain rights and protections for the nobility and freemen. B is incorrect because while the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence are important historical documents, they do not specifically contain our rights and freedoms. C is incorrect because while the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Geneva Conventions do outline rights and protections, they are not specific to any particular country or government. D is incorrect because while the European Convention on Human Rights and Canadian Bill of Rights do pertain to rights and freedoms, they are not considered as significant or influential as the Magna Carta and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
