Which act is described as a historical reference to bankruptcy law in the material?

• A. National Bankruptcy Act 1898 to 1938
• B. Bankruptcy Act of 1994
• C. US Constitution
• D. US Code Title 11

Answer: (A)

This item tests your knowledge of the historical anchor in bankruptcy law. The National Bankruptcy Act of 1898 established the first broad, uniform federal framework for bankruptcy across the United States and remained in effect with amendments through 1938, shaping how bankruptcy practice developed before the modern code. It’s the historical reference many materials point to when describing the evolution of bankruptcy law. By contrast, the current bankruptcy framework is found in US Code Title 11, the Bankruptcy Code enacted later; the Constitution provides a grant to Congress to create bankruptcy laws but isn’t a specific act itself; and a supposed “Bankruptcy Act of 1994” doesn’t correspond to the standard historical reference.
