The Charter represented a significant change in Canadian constitutional order and carried the courts, and the Supreme Court in particular, decisively into some of the biggest controversies in Canadian politics. Although the impact of the Charter on Canadian law and society was profound, a new status quo has been established. Even though there will be future Charter surprises and decisions that will claim news headlines, Peter J. McCormick argues that these cases will be occasional rather than frequent, and that the Charter \"revolution\" is over. Or, as he puts it in his introduction, \"I will tell a story about the Charter, about the big ripples that have gradually but steadily died away such that the surface of the pond is now almost smooth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe End of the Charter Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e explores the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, beginning with a general\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations    Acknowledgements     Introduction         1.
