Which act was proclaimed in 1867?

• A. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
• B. The Constitution Act
• C. The Correctional and Conditional Release Act
• D. The Criminal Code

Answer: (B)

The act proclaimed in 1867 is the Constitution Act. This act, originally known as the British North America Act, 1867, created Confederation and established Canada's federal framework—defining how powers are divided between the federal and provincial levels and laying out the basic institutions of government. The other acts came later: the Charter emerged in 1982 as part of the Constitution; the Criminal Code originated in the late 19th century (1892); and the Correctional and Conditional Release Act is from the 1990s.
