Question: 1 / 20

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force on April 17 of what year?

1967

1979

1982

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force on April 17th, 1982. This answer can be determined by process of elimination. Option A (1967) and Option B (1979) are both incorrect because the Charter was not in force during these years. Option D (1983) is also incorrect because the Charter was already in force for a year before that date. Option C (1982) is the correct answer because the Charter was brought into force on April 17th of that year. Remember to pay attention to both the date and the year in questions like these. So, option C is the correct answer.

1983
