What is the name of Canada's original constitutional document?

  1. The Canadian Declaration of Independence

  2. The Magna Carta of Canada

  3. The British North America Act

  4. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

The correct answer is: The British North America Act

The Canadian Declaration of Independence (A) is incorrect because Canada did not declare independence from Britain, but rather gained independence gradually over time. The Magna Carta of Canada (B) is incorrect because the Magna Carta was a document from medieval England and is not specific to Canada. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (D) is incorrect because while this document is an important part of Canadian law, it was not Canada's original constitutional document. The British North America Act (C) was the original document that outlined the structure and powers of the Canadian government before it was renamed to the Constitution Act in 1982.
