Abstract
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the constitutional principle of “state sociality” in Canada, taking into account the implemented model of a social state. The method and features of securing the guarantees of the sociality of a state in the constitutional legislation of Canada are shown. Based on the analysis of the legislation, the authors made conclusions about the specifics of the sociality of the state in Canada. Analyzing the reflection of the “state sociality” principle in the judicial practice of the Supreme Court of Canada, the authors summarized its influence on the problems of a welfare state.
