There's 50 states.Hawgh said:75% Woop woop.
Quick question: If a senator represents the people of a state, why does the quiz tell me that there are 100 senators? Did you sneak in a few more states while nobody looked? Are all senators twins? Do you maintain an array of cloned backups?
Now I give you a high five.zehydra said:30 questions, 100%, US citizen.

Well, there is less of it [/troll]Mestraal said:23/30. Considerably better than I did for the U.K. test, and I'm a British Citizen. Hah. I find American history far easier to remember...
And now I'm sure.JoJoDeathunter said:UK Citizen here... I passed this test with 17/20 and not the UK one (11/24).
The Amendments I had in mind were the 15th which states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or pervious condition of servitude." and the 19th which states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."Kopikatsu said:...There is an amendment that says that white, male landowners are the only ones who can vote. There is NO amendment that says that anyone of any race can vote.liquidsolid said:27/30 and I'm a citizen. I passed cause you only need 60% or something to pass. Glad I know enough about my own country to live here. One of the questions was bullshit though. There are four amendments in the constitution that describe who can vote. Describe one. I picked: Any person of any race can vote. WRONG! Wait? only men can vote? wait what?!?!
Technically, the test is right.
I understand what you're saying, but it didn't say 'What amendment is the one we're using right now.' Just to pick one of them. 'Any person of any race can vote' still wasn't an amendment. 'Anyone who is a citizen can vote' is basically what the 15th amendment says. In the context of that amendment, the part about race is essentially flavor text. The important part is the citizen part.liquidsolid said:The Amendments I had in mind were the 15th which states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or pervious condition of servitude." and the 19th which states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."Kopikatsu said:...There is an amendment that says that white, male landowners are the only ones who can vote.

So I assumed that "any person of any race can vote" was what they were looking for as opposed to "any male of any race can vote" which was the "right" answer. Fair enough?
