  2. B2 onlyCorrect
  3. C1 and 2
  4. D2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the United States Constitution came into force on March 4, 1789, not 1810. Statement 2 is correct. According to the Origination Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. Statement 3 is incorrect because George W. Bush is not the only president whose father served as president. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president, was the son of John Adams, the second president. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct, making option B the right answer.
