| Abstract: | Problems & possibilities relating to claims to group rights within a liberal individualist democratic framework is explored here in two liberal democracies, viz, America & Canada. The tension inherent in individual rights & claims of ethnic minorities to traditional group rights are explored in selected Court cases. In our exploration we shall find that while liberal democracies are committed to individual rights & freedom, they had to, in few cases, interpret rights & freedom, so as to accommodate certain group rights. |
