Alan: "litigation challenged" is meant as not oriented to argue issues in a court of law. This is in a general sense. There are exceptions.

Canadian government has monarchial principle as its organizing principle. Therefore the Crown, as it is represented in the Canadian constitution, moulds and influences the operation of the courts, laws, legislatures, and executives at both the federal and provincial levels of government. In the United States, with judges chosen by each state, there results a structural pluralism that has a dispersive effect on litigation, which is usually a cause and effect of public policy. In Canada, superior court judges are appointed by a governor-in-council (in company with a single criminal code), which serves to reinforce the power of the Crown. In a nutshell, the laws that emanate from this process do not develop from the people upwards, but rather from the Crown downwards. So individual rights become a matter of comparison/application with what the Crown has developed rather than an assertion of rights that exist in the American constitution. In Canada, contestation of the law is a questioning of an embedded structure moreso than individuated claim for justice.
