Question: 1 / 400

The American Declaration of Independence was adopted in what year?

1776

The American Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 because it was a time of great political and social upheaval in the American colonies. The colonists were unhappy with British rule and sought independence, leading to the formation of the Declaration. Option B, 1787, refers to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. Option C, 1794, was during the time of the French Revolution and not related to the American Declaration of Independence. Option D, 1812, is the year the U.S. declared war on Britain, known as the War of 1812, but is not the year of the Declaration of Independence. Therefore, the correct answer is 1776.
