The United States Citizenship Test
In the past, when the imigrants wanted to become citizens of the
United States, they had to pass a test similar to this one. How many
of you out there could pass this? Only about 60 % ? Probably not even
that many. You need 7 out of 12 correct to pass:
1. How many houses of Congress are there ?
2. What are they called ?
3. What are the 1st 10 amendments to the Constitution called ?
4. How many stars are there on the American Flag ?
5. Who was the 1st President of the United States ?
6. How long is the term of the President ?
7. How many branches of government are there ?
8. What is the highest court in the country ?
9. Who is your mayor ?
10. How many Senators are there ?
11. How many amendments to the Constitution are there ?
12. When was the Declaration of Independence signed ?
When I took it, I got one wrong. How'd you do ?
The Soapbox
Make sure before you criticize your country or government, you
know a little bit about it. Many people today that go off bad mouthing
this country, couldn't even pass this basic test. These are the same
people that criticize elected officials, but didn't vote in the last election.
Read a little history, people died to defend this country and your
right to vote. Don't disgrace their memory by displaying your ignorance.
