What was the name of Canada's original constitutional document in 1867?

  1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

  2. The British North America Act

  3. The Confederation Document

  4. The Royal Canadian Constitution

The correct answer is: The British North America Act

During the mid-19th century, the British colonies of North America were in the process of uniting and forming one country. The Constitution of Canada was created in 1867 through an act of British Parliament, known as the British North America Act (BNA Act). This Act established the Dominion of Canada, making Canada a self-governing country within the British Empire. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (A) was not part of the original act, but was added in 1982 as part of the Canadian Constitution. The Confederation Document (C) and The Royal Canadian Constitution (D) are not accurate names for the original constitutional document and were not used. Therefore, the correct answer is B The British North America Act.
