In what year did New Brunswick have its first representative assembly?

  1. 1785

  2. 1773

  3. 1791

  4. 1758

The correct answer is: 1785

New Brunswick officially became a province in 1784, and its first representative assembly was established in the following year, making 1785 the correct answer. Option B, 1773, is incorrect because this was the year that New Brunswick became part of Nova Scotia and did not have its own representative assembly. Option C, 1791, is also incorrect because this was the year that New Brunswick's legislative assembly was officially separated from Nova Scotia's. Option D, 1758, is incorrect because this was the year that the British took control of the region, but it was not until 1784 that New Brunswick officially became a province.
