Abstract

The two referendums about independence in Quebec of Canada are seceding referendum.After that,Canadian government set the complex procedure to initiate referendum.It's no doubt that this actually restrains or even rules out the possibility of Quebec's secession and independence.As this case indicates,if some district of the sovereignty country would like to gain secession through referendum,the central government has the supreme power to decide whether to allow its secession or not.Because district secession must influence the interests of the country,the country generally opposes seceding referendum.The case also shows us that:we must curb secession by law and constitute institutional arrangement that can cope with issues on difference,rather than compromise with secession.
