In which year was the American Declaration of Independence made?

Correct answer: 1776

The direct answer is B: 1776. The American Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, by the Second Continental Congress. It announced that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as independent states rather than colonies ruled by Britain. The reasoning is a date-identification chain: American Declaration of Independence → July 4 → year 1776; therefore option B is correct. Option A, 1789, is strongly associated with the beginning of the French Revolution and also with the start of the United States federal government under the Constitution, but it is not the year of the Declaration. Option B is correct because it gives the established year. Option C, 1804, is associated with later events such as Haitian independence and Napoleon's empire, not the American Declaration. Option D, 1688, is linked with England's Glorious Revolution, which occurred much earlier. Do not confuse the Declaration of Independence with the American Constitution, which was drafted in 1787 and came into operation in 1789, or with the Revolutionary War, which continued after 1776. Memory cue: July 4, 1776 = American independence declaration.
