When was the Constitution of Canada amended?

  1. 1867

  2. 1982

  3. 2000

  4. 1776

The correct answer is: 1982

The Constitution of Canada was originally enacted in 1867, but it has been amended multiple times throughout history. However, the most significant amendment occurred in 1982 with the adoption of the Canada Act. This amended the Constitution Act of 1867 and added the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, making it a crucial document in Canadian law. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the significant amendment date in 1982. Option D, 1776, is also incorrect as this date is significant for the American colonies declaring independence from British rule and does not pertain to the Constitution of Canada.
