US LAW QUIZ

[B Calm]

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.

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Missed one.

[B Calm]

2. Wow you did good! I missed two out of 30.

I knew liberals wouldn't have a problem with this test!

[Live and Learn]

9. Missed 2 also

I didn't know Jackson had been impeached. Probably should have known that one.

Also, missed the the last amendment passed in 1992. Must have slept thrugh that year.

Edited to add: Yikes, I now see it was Andrew Johnson, and I have never even heard of him. That is Pathetic.

[Egalitarian Thug]

13. Me too. How many impeached. n/t

[edhopper]

3. Missed two

but on review it was because i misread the question. I knew the actual answers.

[B Calm]

7. You did as good as I. It was fun, right. .

[lapfog_1]

4. crap... I missed one question (number of amendments proposed but not ratified). - n/t

[B Calm]

5. Thats the one I missed too, ha ha.

The other one was which president was born in Texas.

[lapfog_1]

10. That was easy

but then I was born in Kansas (his adopted home).

[Politicalboi]

6. I got 26 right

I thought Nixon was the only President impeached.

[B Calm]

8. You did good, you're way above average!!

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, actually

[denverbill]

18. Me too.

Didn't miss any until #22.

[OriginalGeek]

29. That was my first miss too!

but then I went on to screw up 3 others for a total of 26 right.

I didn't know Dwight D was born in Texas. Having grown up there I shoulda knowed it. At least I knew it wasn't Bush.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

51. Denison, Texas (Far NE)

[OriginalGeek]

70. I think I've been there

I grew up in Dallas and we went up to Lake Texoma many summers.

But we probably just passed through...unless there was a good bait shop there...

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. 29 out of 30

missed the Q about amendments proposed but not ratified.

[B Calm]

14. Very good!!

[mulsh]

16. me, too.

n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

15. I got 26.

Three wrong on the amendments and the impeachment question threw me because I was thinking of a successful impeachment that threw a president out of office, not who had the charges brought up. If they had worded the question differently, I would have known A. Johnson and Bill Clinton.

[B Calm]

17. Not bad!

Email it to some rightwinger and see how they do!!

[Freddie]

55. 26 also

I too thought of successful impeachment which of course is 0.

[rurallib]

19. missed the Q on proposed not ratified amendments

thought there were quite a few.

[rsdsharp]

20. 30 out of 30.

But to be honest I was kind of guessing on the number of amendments proposed but not ratified.

[Mz Pip]

25. Me too

but I figured it was more than one.

[LeftofObama]

21. 26 out of 30 here!

Your Score is 26

Congratz, you Pass!

You should be proud.

A couple of them were educated guesses, but guesses never the less. All in all, better than I thought I'd do.

That was fun!

[surrealAmerican]

22. 28

Somehow, I couldn't remember the number of amendments, and didn't remember that last one.


Mostly, it was a very easy quiz. I have a hard time believing high school seniors would fail it. I know my kids (one of whom graduated a couple of months ago) learned most of this stuff in middle school.

[malaise]

23. Your Score is 29 Near Perfect! This was a difficult test, you should be proud!

Nice - I got #24 wrong
24 In what year was the last amendment ratified?

[Mz Pip]

24. 30 out of 30

It's hard to imagine anyone actually failing this test. What do they teach in american Government these days?

[Warpy]

26. I missed two

I had a brain fart on Washington's VP and how the hell was I supposed to know where Eisenhower was born? I know it was neither Raygun nor Stupid, but I had to take a wild guess.

The rest of them seemed like softball questions.

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. Missed one ...

Year of the last ratified amendment.

Someone please send this to freerepublican and/or the local teaparty chapters; though they would lie about their results.

[enlightenment]

28. 29 out of 30

The one about Congress proposing amendments threw me.

[stevedeshazer]

30. 28

That was cool.

[Avalux]

31. 28 out of 30. It's really sad that 96% of high school students failed it.

Makes it a lot easier to fool people when they don't know any better.

[cthulu2016]

32. 29 (some hard ones there)

[B Calm]

33. Good to see people are enjoying the quiz.

[Marinedem]

34. 27

Not bad.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

35. 27

I was a little fuzzy on the 27th amendment and the number of amendments that were never ratified.

Honest to God, I don't recall the 27th amendment at all. I must have been sick that year.

[msanthrope]

36. 30 out of 30. nt

[B Calm]

[Wounded Bear]

69. You're right....I missed 4...nt

[DevonRex]

37. I missed 2 stupid ones. How many Pres were assassinated

and who was born in Texas.

[a kennedy]

44. Yah, trick questions....knew " * " was born in Maine.

So I guessed Raygun

[DevonRex]

45. Yeah. We both seem to know *law*

but not trivia. I'm not as good at history as I am at political science. Oh well, I feel pretty good about how we did, don't you? Congrats!

[BREMPRO]

39. 25..missed most of the amendment ones!

[B Calm]

[a kennedy]

43. Dang, got four wrong.....

[B Calm]

46. You did good!!

[Denninmi]

47. Seriously, that wasn't that hard.

Your Score is 29
Near Perfect! This was a difficult test, you should be proud!

I missed the one about "which President was born in Texas". I said the chimp. It was Eisenhower. For some reason, I thought he was from Pennsylvania.

[B Calm]

48. Take a break from guns and try the quiz!!

[RagAss]

49. 27 and not proud.

[Chorophyll]

50. Got 3 wrong and I'm really embarrassed about 2 of them.

Could have been a lot worse though! Thanks for the link; it was fun!

[Drunken Irishman]

52. 27 - missed...

8. Which amendment sets the minimum voting age to 18?

21. The Constitution has how many Amendments?

22. In what year was the last amendment ratified?

So, obviously, I'm not good with amendments. But everything else? Sure!

[proud2BlibKansan]

53. I only missed one

How many Amendments have been proposed officially by Congress but never ratified?

[rdking647]

missed washingtons vp and # of failed amendments

[Wounded Bear]

67. Missed three.....

Date of last amendment, No. of amendments proposed and not passed, and (damn it all) who was born in Texas. I knew it wasn't Dubya, but he seemed the most logical.

At least I passed.

[cbrer]

68. *Red Faced* 25

The Constitutional questions got me.

[Maraya1969]

72. Quit with the red face. I got the lowest number of any that are

giving their numbers. The operative point there being the ones giving their numbers. Plenty of people are not disclosing what they got so you should be proud. You passed!

[Maraya1969]

71. 23 out of 30 and it said I passed!

[UnrepentantLiberal]

73. 27

I got the hard ones and missed a few easy ones.
