Why were women not considered Persons under Canadian law at the time?

Justice Robert Smith ruled unanimously that women were not “persons” under Section 24 of the BNA Act. Women were therefore ineligible for appointment to the Senate. Their decision was based on the premise that the BNA Act had to be interpreted the same way in 1928 as in 1867, when the Act was passed.

Explanation:

Women did not work at the time and therefore they were not counted upon by the society and could not have been considered persons.

Explanation:

personally, i liked the old Canadian laws, Women have no right doing a mans job and they should learn where they belong. No offense but i do have acceptations for the women cooks and maids. some thing are for men and others for women. If you comment below about this and say you dont agree with me, ill just asume your demacrat. thanks

the correct statement is letter a.   according to the mandate of heaven, kings were considered godlike beings, so they could do as they .

the mandate of heaven is a chinese political and religious ideology used since ancient times to justify the rule of the king or emperor of china, that has been in place since the zhou until the dynasty system ended. it has been created to justify the zhou as the main power of the region. in order to keep harmony, the ruler has to make what he wants and what people want. he had to make good choices to satisfy the people and then they will be happy and keep you in power.
