When did the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms become part of the Canadian Constitution?

  1. 1965

  2. 1982

  3. 2000

  4. 1776

The correct answer is: 1982

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was not part of the Canadian Constitution in 1965 or 2000. Both of these years fall outside the range of potential dates for the Charter's inclusion, with it being enacted in 1982. Furthermore, 1776 is not a possible answer because it predates the creation of Canada as a country. In 1982, the Canadian Constitution was repatriated from the United Kingdom, and the Charter was included as part of the new Constitution. This marked a significant moment in Canadian history, giving Canadians their own set of rights and freedoms that were protected under the law. This event had a lasting impact on the country and continues to shape Canadian society today.
