Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms deals with

  1. Search or Seizure

  2. Life liberty and security of person

  3. Detention or imprisonment

  4. Arrest or detention

The correct answer is: Life liberty and security of person

Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms within the Canadian Constitution pertains specifically to the life, liberty, and security of a person. This crucial section outlines that each person has the right to live, to be free, and to feel secure within their person. In other words, every individual is entitled to basic human rights like the right to live, the right to freedom, and the right to personal security. Importantly, these rights should not be infringed upon except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. This does not necessarily mean complete immunity from detention, arrest, search, or seizure, but rather that such actions must adhere to the principles of justice, underlining the key focus of Section 7 on life, freedom, and security.
