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