The current United States Code originated from which year?

• A. 1925
• B. 1875
• C. 1990
• D. 1945

Answer: (A)

The key point is when the modern United States Code was first established as a single, organized codification of federal statutes. The current Code originated with the first official edition published in 1925, which brought together the general and permanent laws into one integrated code. Before that, laws were scattered in session laws and the Statutes at Large, with earlier codifications like the Revised Statutes existing in different forms. Since 1925 the Code has been continually updated, but that year marks the origin of the current codified structure. The other dates reflect later revisions or earlier compilations, not the starting point of the Code.
