43 of 50. I can continue to be an American citizen, though it looks like I'll have to change states. I know almost nothing about Tennessee.
Can you pass the US citizenship test?

Jury nullification is awesome, and the only check that we have against the very-much unconstitutional federal drug control. Pity few people realize that some states specifically authorize it, and none would punish a jury for voting in that fashion, if the laws are truly unjust.Aidinthel said:

It was NOT to protect free speech, etc. The BILL OF RIGHTS, that is, the FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS, were made for the purposes of protecting those rights, but even then, they specifically (for several of them) only protected citizens from the federal government, not from the states. It wasn't until the 14th amendment and later judicial proceedings that the rights in the Bill of Rights were (individually, most of them) affirmed to apply to the states as well as the federal government.
The Constitution was passed without the Bill of Rights. The Constitution says little about freedom in this respect. However, the Constitution was ratified under the understanding that a Bill of Rights would follow, yet the Constitution IN ITSELF does not protect the rights of people; its amendments do, and even then, not until the 14th amendment does it protect citizens directly from both state and federal governments.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis This is the real United States Citizenship and Immigration website. The other one is just a cheap knock-off; our government websites usually don't suck that much.
5/5 an I'm not even American.
Are all of the questions this insultingly easy, or did I get dumb sample because I chose Texas as a State?
Compared to the British test, this seems like child's play... in fact it does seem like the kind of test we would be given at Primary School when we learnt a little bit about another country.

I did the ten question one and I am eligable to become a US citizen. I got 90% but id say thats fair since im an ausie.
I passed with an 80 (Got 4 out of 5 correct).
Sure, I took the short test but...should I assume that the real US citizenship test is that easy? Cause that'd be cool....
