The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force on April 17 of what year?

  1. 1967

  2. 1979

  3. 1982

  4. 1983

The correct answer is: 1982

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enacted on April 17, 1982, as part of the Constitution Act. This landmark document serves to protect the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, outlining fundamental freedoms such as freedom of expression, assembly, and the right to equality. The inclusion of the Charter significantly transformed Canadian law and the role of the judiciary regarding individual rights. The other years mentioned do not align with the historic enactment of the Charter. For example, 1967 is notable for Canada's centennial celebrations and discussions around rights, but it predates the Charter. Similarly, while 1979 marked significant political developments in Canada, it was still years before the Charter's introduction. Lastly, although 1983 falls within a close range, it is after the fact of April 17, 1982, when the Charter officially came into effect.
