Below is a link to a 30-question test to see how well you know US Law.
Not exactly grade-school level. Give it a shot, and see how well you do!
Supposedly 96% of all High School Seniors FAILED this test ... AND if that's not bad enough, 50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!! Take the test and be surprised at what we don't know.

Got an 87% - 26 out of 30.

I got exactly the same, and missed on the same questions.
I got 25/30, but it should be 26/30.
There are two correct answers to question 23. The question reads, "Which of these amendments is a ratified and current amendment?" Options are
A: Declaring it illegal to desecrate the American Flag.
B: Equality of Rights regardless of gender.
C: Restricting marriage in all States to be between a man and a woman.
D: Prohibiting the importing of liquor into States where it is illegal
While "D" is correct via the 21st Amendment, "B" is also correct. Amendment 14 ยง 1 provides that no state, "shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The Supreme Court has found that women fall under the "equal protection" clause of the 14th amendment. See Reed v. Reed (1971) and Craig v. Boren (1976). Note that I'm not an attorney or anything, just an enthusiast of constitutional law.
Good quiz though, thanks for sharing.
I got exactly six wrong. To close to not passing for comfort. I guess it's time to read the Constitution again. ::)
28/30. :-( Missed 24 & 25 I knew the English language one too---grrrrr!
Looks like i need to study. :wb:
25/30 missed 8, 23, and then burnt in on 28-30. Shame, shame, shame.
Not braggin', but...
30 out of 30!
Who am I kidding. I'm braggin'.
TE
I missed 5
Took it again and missed 3
# 8 is interestingly logic !
"
if a 4 year old is old enough to be killed in a car crash, they should be old enough to vote "
#23 has some interesting elements, I got it right the 1st time and missed it the 2 nd time.
26 out of 30 87% I figured GW bush wasn't born in Texas but put him down anyway. And I missed another one just because I had a brain cramp! :wb: :wb:
Just got a 97% (29/30.) Missed #22.
Two degrees in history and seven years teaching it at the college level, and I couldn't get a danged 100%. :slap:
My hat's off to TE.
Thanks, Prof. C.J.

Fun quiz, got 26/30 may not have got that but my Grandpa helped me a little. My hat's also off to TE
29/30 Missed the Amendment booze question about transporting liquor.
28 out of 30 for 98%.
Not so bad -- President born in Texas was tough & number of unapproved amendments was a SWAG and wrong. Great quiz, thanks CamL

That's doesn't surprise me at all. If you've got your kids in
govt indoctrination centers school do all you can to HOMESCHOOL. Even if you have to make some BIG lifestyle changes to do so. My wife and I did that with our youngest (now 22) and have never regretted it.
At least the AS instructors seem to be a knowledgeable bunch from what I've seen myself. That's one of the reasons I like doing shoots - I get to hang out with some of the best there are in this country.
Sometimes I get a bit depressed about the level of understanding in our Nation - but then I'll do a shoot and it never fails to perk me up when I see the instructors - and students - that actually are aware and not 'low info' individuals.

Amen. brother. That has much to do with I am here.
29/30... had no idea Dwight was a Texan... :slap:
