When was the British North America Act created?

  1. July 1, 1867

  2. July 4, 1776

  3. July 1, 1982

  4. July 14, 1789

The correct answer is: July 1, 1867

The British North America Act, also known as the Constitution Act, was created on July 1, 1867. This act established the Dominion of Canada, uniting the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into one country. Option B, July 4, 1776, is the date of American Independence and is not related to the creation of the British North America Act. Option C, July 1, 1982, is the date of the signing of the Canada Act, which finalized Canada's independence from Britain, but this is not the date of the creation of the act itself. Option D, July 14, 1789, is the date of the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution and is also not related to the creation of the British North America Act. Therefore, option A, July 1, 1867, is the correct answer.
