What did the Constitution of 1791 achieve for Canadians?

  1. Introduced a new currency

  2. For the first time, Canadians were granted legislative assemblies elected by the people & the name Canada had become official.

  3. Marked Canada's victory in the War of 1812

  4. Established free healthcare for all Canadians

The correct answer is: For the first time, Canadians were granted legislative assemblies elected by the people & the name Canada had become official.

The Constitution of 1791 did not introduce a new currency, as that would have been a responsibility of the Bank of Canada which was not established until 1934. Option C is incorrect because the War of 1812 took place over 20 years after the Constitution of 1791 was enacted. Additionally, the Constitution of 1791 did not establish free healthcare for all Canadians, as this is a more recent development in Canadian history. The correct answer, B, is accurate because it recognizes the establishment of legislative assemblies elected by the people for the first time in Canadian history, as well as the official use of the name "Canada." These achievements helped to establish a more democratic and unified Canada.
