The dual nation theory has gained ground since 1960, with the beginning of the sovereignty movement (Gorman, Robert F. 2008. 2018-2020). The real take-off, however, came with the Silent Revolution, where the idea of ​​“maîtres chez nous” and the transition from being a distinct part of Canada to being a nation in its own right, began to take hold in Quebec. Quebec nationalism defined Confederation as an agreement between two peoples: the French and the English. “Quebec constitutes a distinct society within Canada, comprising a French-speaking majority, a unique culture and civil law tradition” (Chotalia, 1993). This is important to mention because this is the theory that ultimately leads to the three-nation theory. The three-nation theory agrees with the two-nation theory insofar as the Confederacy was an agreement between distinct groups of people. The contention stems from which groups those were; the three-nation theory proposes that those groups were the French, the English, and the indigenous; “the Aboriginal peoples of Canada, being the first peoples to govern this land, have the right to promote their languages, cultures and traditions and to ensure the integrity of their societies, and their governments constitute one of the three orders of government in Canada ” (Chotalia, 1993). The three-nation theory followed soon after the dual-nation theory and eventually replaced it completely in the 1990s. This replacement may be formally recognized when Section 25 is inserted into the Constitution Act 1982 and Aboriginal rights and title are officially recognised. This is not to say, however, that some aspects of this theory did not exist before 1982, only that this case can be pointed to as a turning point in Canadian history where... middle of paper... .cline of Deference .” Essential reading in Canadian government and politics. 461-464 Preston Manning. 1987. “The West Wants in.” Speech presented to the Western Assembly on the Economic and Political Future of Canada, Vancouver, Canada.
