Canada Day () is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 ( today called the Constitution Act, 1867, in Canada ), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire.

Proponents argued that the name Dominion Day was a holdover from the colonial era, an argument given some impetus by the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, and others asserted that an alternative was needed as the term does not translate well into French.

The anniversary of these events in 1965 is commemorated annually on Constitution Day, with week long activities known as Te Maevea Nui Celebrations locally.

* 1952 – The Constitution of Puerto Rico is approved by the Congress of the United States.

As a republican form of government, the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is divided into three branches: executive, legislative and judicial, as established by the Constitution of Puerto Rico.

In the 1950s, the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party denounced the Constitution and Muñoz Marín support as a sham, and staged a series of uprisings in 1950, known as the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party Revolts of the 1950s, of which the most notable were the ones in Jayuya, Utuado and San Juan, plus the attack on Blair House, and the United States House of Representatives in 1954.

Governor Muñoz Marín inaugurated the new status called Estado Libre Asociado — or Free Associated State in English — and raised the Puerto Rican flag along with the national anthem of Puerto Rico for the first time on July 25, 1952 — date in which Puerto Ricans celebrate the Constitution of Puerto Rico ( see also: Holidays in Puerto Rico ).

Under the Constitution of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico is described as a Commonwealth and Puerto Ricans have a degree of administrative autonomy similar to that of a U. S. state.

Only the " fundamental rights " under the federal constitution apply to Puerto Rico like the Privileges and Immunities Clause ( U. S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1, also known as the ' Comity Clause ') that prevents a state from treating citizens of other states in a discriminatory manner, with regard to basic civil rights.

In a brief concurrence in the judgment of Torres v. Puerto Rico, U. S. Supreme Court Justice Brennan, argued that any implicit limits from the Insular Cases on the basic rights granted by the Constitution ( including especially the Bill of Rights ) were anachronistic in the 1970s.

It stated that the U. S. Justice Department in 1959 reiterated that Congress held power over Puerto Rico pursuant to the Territorial Clause of the U. S. Constitution.

The application of the Constitution to Puerto Rico is limited by the Insular Cases.

On March 16, 2011, the President's Task Force on Puerto Rico's Status issued a third report that reaffirned the legal position adopted by the three previous presidents over nearly a quarter century that Puerto Rico remains today " subject to the Territory Clause of the U. S. Constitution ( see Report at page 26 ), that the territory's long-term economic well-being would be enhanced by an early resolution of the political status problem ( p. 33 ) and devotes most of the report to extensive economic analysis and recommendations.

However, it does not have the sovereignty that a state of the Union has, given that Puerto Rico is a possession of the United States and it is, thus, not protected by the US Constitution as states are.

** The ineligibility of Puerto Rico residents to vote in presidential elections as the U. S. Constitution provides these rights only to states and the District of Columbia.

Silas Talbot engineered an expedition to Puerto Plata harbor in the Colony of Santo Domingo, a possession of France's ally Spain, on May 11, 1800 ; sailors and marines from the USS Constitution under Lieutenant Isaac Hull captured the French privateer Sandwich in the harbor and spiked the guns in the Spanish fort.

It is defined under the Constitution of Puerto Rico pursuant to and ultimately its powers are all delegated by the United States Congress and lack full protection under the United States Constitution.

On July 25, 1952, Governor Luis Muñoz Marín proclaimed that the Constitution of Puerto Rico was in effect.

Article III of the Puerto Rico Constitution grants all legislative powers of the national government to the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico, which is divided into two chambers: a 27 member Senate and a 51 member House of Representatives.

According to Dr. Leopoldo Figueroa, member of the Partido Estadista Puertorriqueño ( Puerto Rican Statehood Party ) and the only member of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives who did not belong to the PPD, the law was repressive and in direct violation of the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, which guarantees Freedom of Speech.

Under the same, the Constitution only applied fully in incorporated territories such as Alaska and Hawaii, whereas it only applied partially in the new unincorporated territories of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is the controlling government document of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
