{{Main|Constitution Act, 1867}}

The [[British North America Act 1867|'''''British North America Act 1867''''']] ([[30 & 31 Vict.]] c. 3), also known as the BNA Act, comprises a major part of the [[Constitution of Canada]]. The act entails the original creation of a [[federation|federal]] dominion and sets the framework for much of the operation of the [[Government of Canada]], including its [[Canadian federalism|federal structure]], the [[House of Commons of Canada]], the Senate, the [[Court system of Canada|justice system]], and the [[taxation]] system. In 1982, this act was renamed the ''Constitution Act, 1867'', with the [[patriation]] of the constitution (having originally been enacted by the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]]). Amendments were also made at this time: section 92A was added, giving the [[Provinces and territories of Canada|provinces]] greater control over non-renewable [[natural resource]]s.
