premise: Since 1982, the federal government has been dragging along, like a ball and chain, a constitution that has never been accepted by one whole founding people, by one whole province, one of the most important provinces, one that was there from the beginnings of Canada, that was the place where European life in North America began.
hypothesis: The federal government has no constitutional authority.
reason: If the constitution has not been fully ratified, the constitutional basis for the authority of the federal government (not the *actual* authority of the government) is in question, therefore my statement is neither definitely correct nor incorrect.
