In what year did the United States Constitution go into effect?

1781

1787

The United States Constitution went into effect in 1787, making option B the correct answer. This occurred after the document was ratified by nine out of thirteen states in 1788, with the remaining four states ratifying it by 1790. Option A, 1781, is when the Articles of Confederation went into effect, but this was replaced by the Constitution in 1787. Option C, 1776, is when the Declaration of Independence was signed, but this does not pertain to the Constitution going into effect. Option D, 1791, is when the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution, but once again, this does not relate to the Constitution going into effect. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
