In Reference re Secession of Quebec, the Supreme Court of Canada held that:
A. The expression of a clear majority of Quebecers that they no longer wish to remain in Canada imposed no obligations upon the other provinces or the federal government.
B. Quebec's unilateral initiation of a Constitutional amendment process in order to secede imposed an obligation upon all the parties to negotiate.
C. The democracy principle trumps the principles of federalism and rule of law.
D. Quebec's right to self-determination allows it to dictate the terms of a proposed secession the other provinces and the federal government.
