Under what section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives a person the right to join an organization?
Section 10 (a)
Section 2 (d)
Section 494(1)
Section 9
The correct answer is: Section 2 (d)
Section 2 (d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms directly outlines the right of an individual to participate in a group or an organization. This section enshrines the "freedom of association," which is generally interpreted as encompassing the right to form, join, or maintain membership in any organization without interference from the state. This fundamental freedom is important for a wide range of groups such as trade unions, political movements, and social clubs.
