What is the role of the Canadian Courts?

  1. To enact laws and govern

  2. To serve as advisors to the Prime Minister

  3. To oversee national defense

  4. To provide order in society, provide a peaceful way to settle disputes, and express the values and beliefs of Canadians

The correct answer is: To provide order in society, provide a peaceful way to settle disputes, and express the values and beliefs of Canadians

The Canadian Courts do not have the role of enacting laws and governing as that is the role of the legislative branch. They also do not serve as advisors to the Prime Minister as that is the role of advisors and the Cabinet. Additionally, overseeing national defense is the role of the military and not the courts. The main role of the Canadian Courts is to provide order in society, offer a peaceful and fair way to settle disputes, and uphold the values and beliefs of Canadians through the legal system.
