In what year was the Constitution of Canada amended to include the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

  1. 1962

  2. 1971

  3. 1982

  4. 1990

The correct answer is: 1982

The Constitution of Canada was not amended in 1962 as it was not until 1965 that the constitution came into its own. The Constitution of Canada was not amended in 1971 as it wasn't until 1980 that the Canadian government began exploring the concept of a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Constitution of Canada was not amended in 1990 as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was actually included in the Constitution of Canada in 1982. Therefore, option C, 1982, is the correct answer as it marks the year of the official addition of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the Constitution of Canada.
