In what year was the United States Department of Justice established?

CORRECT!

Congress established the Department of Justice in 1870 to centralize the federal government’s legal affairs under the leadership of the Attorney General.

 

WRONG! This is the year Congress created the office of the Attorney General, but the Department of Justice did not yet exist.

WRONG!

This year is associated with major federal developments such as the creation of the Federal Reserve System, not the establishment of the Department of Justice.
