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

  1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

  2. The British North America Act

  3. The Declaration of Independence

  4. The Federation Constitution

The correct answer is: The British North America Act

The British North America Act is the correct answer because it was the original constitutional document that established the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was not created until 1982, and the Declaration of Independence is a document pertaining to the United States, not Canada. The Federation Constitution is not a specific document and therefore is incorrect.
