Pete Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This was a Newsweek article. They surveyed 1000 Americans and 38% failed. Can you pass the citizens test? and I am dumb- I misspelled naturalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 100% I was surprised how easy that was. I hope those 38% are in some sort of assisted living environment. I hate to think that many of them are out there driving cars, having unprotected sex, waiving guns around WalMart, demanding to see our President's birth certificate, etc...

KD in CA Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's a pretty low threshold for passing. I missed a couple but agree that most of them were really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The first question is wrong. Q: How many states are there in the Union?A: 50 There are, in fact, 46 states in the Union. There are 4 Commonwealths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it’s still appropriate and accurate to refer to them as states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 You're lousy at improv. 4 commonwealths in name only. They are states in nature though, and vastly different then other commonwealths such as Puerto Rico and Guam Interesting point though Hopsguy. Kind of like how we are not a democracy. We are a representative republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
