Answer:
The independence processes of the United States and Canada were very different from each other.
The United States obtained its independence from Great Britain after a war of independence that lasted from 1775 to 1783. That is, it was a violent and convulsive process, in which both nations faced each other to settle their directly opposed interests.
On the other hand, Canada walked its way towards independence in a peaceful way. In 1867 the Constitution Act was approved, which created the Dominion of Canada, with an autonomous government but subject to the laws of the British Parliament. Years later, in 1931, the Statute of Westminster was approved, establishing the legislative equality of the British and Canadian Parliament. Finally, in 1982, the Constitution of Canada eliminated dependence on the British Parliament.

Answer that I'll offer: PURSUING WISDOM
There were many Greek philosophers, and their ideas were not all in agreement with each other. But in general, the Greek philosophers all agreed that pursuing wisdom is the most important thing in life. One of the earliest of Greek philosophers, Pythagoras (in the 6th century BC), is thought to have coined the term "philosopher." The report is that Pythagoras did not want to claim to be a wise man who already had great wisdom, but that he was a "lover of wisdom" who sought to be wise. In Greek, "philos" is a word for "love" and "sophia" is the word for wisdom. So a "philosopher" is a "lover of wisdom."
The great philosopher Socrates (5th century BC) was famous for saying, "The unexamined life is not worth living." He saw the goal of his life as constantly seeking wisdom -- and that what truly made him wise was recognizing how little he truly knew with certainty.
Other Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and more followed in that tradition. They did not all agree on all the details of what the best pattern is for life in this world. But they did all seek wisdom as the most important thing in life.
