Think you know the Constitution?

Then take the test: http://www.constitutionfacts.com/index.cfm?page=quiz.cfm

Once you complete it you can see how you compare with your peer group.

I'm an A student, but I didn't tackle the Expert Exam. It's a hundred questions. Whoa.

[lumberjack_jeff]

1. 9 of 10. didn't take the expert one. n/t

[MrCoffee]

2. 42 out of 50

:cry:

i did not know my history.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. 10 of 10

Did the expert. Got 45 out of 50.

[Auggie]

4. The average score nationally is 7.272 (for 10 out of 10)... wow!

I got 9 out of 10 -- presidential term limits got me. Otherwise I thought this was REALLY easy.

[Ezlivin]

10. That's scary - and they're our neighbors and coworkers

If you ever wonder why people can be so cavalier about their rights it's because they have no clue.

[Auggie]

13. That is scary, but I'm surprised it's that high

People who take this quiz actually have an interest in government. When Jay Leno does his man-in-the-street questions it's amazing the number of people he finds who don't know their Congressional reps, state capitals or that Darth is VP. If that quiz was given to every adult I bet the national average would be 4 to 4.3. Perhaps lower.

Which explains why chimpy still has any kind of approval rating.

5. 48 out of 50, but...

I admit I guessed right on three.

[NoPasaran]

6. 10 of 10 and 43/50

Made one phenomenally stupid mistake that I realized just as I was clicking the wrong answer. :)

[tech3149]

8. DAMN! Only 8/10 but still better than the state averageAt least the only two I missed

were more trivia than important facts. I'll have to go back and take the expert test, mabey I'll do better than 50/50.

[hfojvt]

[Solon]

15. 10/10 and...

on the expert quiz I missed one question, leaving me with a score of 49/50. I forgot who was the first Chief Justice.

[BuyingThyme]

16. I got a nine, but I think I should be given a pass.

I think that 10-year deal is a trick question. I knew the answer, but I didn't think they were playing me, so I jumped right to eight years. I'm going to sue the bastards if I don't get a pass.

[radfringe]

18. Not all of the Questions are Constitution questions...

..some are just history "who was the first VP?" is not written in the constitution.

[JackRiddler]

19. 9/10 and 45/50

Clicked a really stupid answer on the first one (maximum a president can serve is 10 years, obviously, not 8).

On the big one, got stuff like this wrong:
- To become a Senator you must be a citizen for NINE years (I thought 10).
- Congress can expel a member with a 2/3 vote (not 3/4 as I guessed).
- 12 states represented at Constitutional assembly, not 13.
