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

  1. 1967

  2. 1979

  3. 1982

  4. 1983

The correct answer is: 1982

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force on April 17, 1982. This was a significant moment in Canadian history as it established the fundamental rights and freedoms that all people in Canada possess, under the rule of law. Notable inclusions in the Charter are various civil liberties that range from the right to liberty and security, to freedom of expression, equality rights and legal rights. The Charter is a part of the larger Constitution Act of 1982, which marked the time when Canada gained full sovereignty from the United Kingdom; hence, it's a benchmark in Canada's legal and national history. The years 1967, 1979 and 1983 mentioned in the other choices respectively, do not coincide with this historical event.
