Question 18: What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

Answer: This answer might not come to mind quickly, but the phrases that are both acceptable answers are the foundation of our system of government: “checks and balances,” also known as “separation of powers.”

Question 19: Other important amendments for future Americans to understand are the ones pertaining to voting. “There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.”

Answer: The 26th Amendment allows citizens 18 and older to vote. The 19th allows both men and women to vote. The 15th allows a citizen of any race or color to vote. And the 24th prevents the government from charging a poll tax, meaning you don’t have to pay anything to vote.

      We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility…do establish this constitution for ourselves and our posterity. Preamble to the US Constitution

      That is a great theory. All Congress men and women should have to take the test. It is not easy; unless you have an updated pamphlet on the Constitution and Amendents.

    Why bother, you get better rights if you are an illegal refugee! No ID, Full benefits as a citizen and now, you can even vote as if you were a legal citizen!

    It is Not the whole or complete opening — it IS. ‘WE THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES, in order to form a more perfect union, …’ SO, it is NOT the Citizens they are referring to — it is those ‘People’ in Congress–because the ‘United States’ they are referring to is the 10 sq. miles in Art 1, section 8, Cl. 17
    We are Citizens of the united States of America , NOT the United States
