What year was The Immigration Act?

• A. 1900
• B. 1914
• C. 1924
• D. 1930

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying the year when the United States enacted a major immigration restriction that set quotas by nationality. The significant law that did this was passed in 1924, often called the Johnson-Reed Act. It established numeric limits on immigration for different countries and based those quotas on a previous census, marking a turning point toward more restrictive immigration policy. That’s why 1924 is the correct year. Earlier years like 1900 or 1914 didn’t introduce this nationwide quota system in the same way, and 1930 comes after the big restriction shift and isn’t the landmark act being asked about.
