WHAT DOES PATRIATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Patriation

Patriation is a colloquial term used in Canada to describe the process leading to a specific constitutional change in 1982. Until that date, Canada was governed by a constitution composed of British laws that could be changed only by acts of the British parliament, albeit only with the consent of the Canadian government. Patriation resulted in the constitution being amendable by Canada only and according to the Canadian amending formula, with no role for the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Hence, patriation is associated with the acquisition of full sovereignty. The word "patriation" was invented in Canada as a back-formation from "repatriation". As the Canadian constitution was originally a British law, it could not "return to" Canada. The term was first used in 1966 by Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in response to a question in parliament: "We intend to do everything we can to have the constitution of Canada repatriated, or patriated."...
