A simple test like the one given to legal immigrants trying to get legal citizenship would be the answer to elliminate the ignorant and ill informed. Prior to the War of Northern Agression, there actually was a 10th Amendment, and States could actually decided who could vote in their state (not the federal government). Even today certain states (mostly southern) have immediate Federal Oversight on changes to voting laws. Most Northern states do not have the automatic oversight. Is that fair? All states should be treated equally under federal law period! Enough for the rant. Here is the link to the Citizenship test. I am going to take it now and see how I do. I challenge you to do the same. No CHEATING !!! .... lol . http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0...zenship-test/Who-signs-bills?cmpid=prc:ctzn:d . I am embarrassed to say I got 4 incorrect
Took the test, missed 28, 63, and 95. One wrong guess, one interpreted narrowly, and one out and out wrong. Got two other guesses right. The CSM website loads slowly, so block out some time to take it.
"What is the economic system in the United States"? a. none of these answers b. communist economy c. capitalist economy d. socialist economy This question is very tough, because there's an honest answer...and a correct textbook answer. In fact, since 'communist' and 'socialist' do not directly fit in as economic systems by definition for some, perhaps it is best to answer 'capitalist', which really has become 'corporatist', but I digress. Therefore, 'none of these answers' becomes the one I lean toward most. Is 'fascist false paradigm' considered an economic system? What about 'false hopes built on illusions of grandeur'? This could go on forever...
Missed three. Like Broker I had to bite the bullet and give the politically correct answer. I wonder how many of the citizens picked by Jay Leno for "Jaywalking" could come up with the correct answers.
