Question 13: U.S. geography is also a category on the test. Besides being able to name the biggest rivers and bordering oceans of the U.S., one of the questions is “Name one U.S. territory.”

Answer: The five American territories are: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.

Question 14: The citizenship test doesn’t ignore some less savory aspects of America’s past, such as slavery as well as the displacement of Native Americans. Future citizens are expected to know a little about the country’s original population via the question “Name one American Indian tribe in the United States.”

Answer: There are currently 573 federally recognized tribes, and all are permissible answers, but four of the largest are the Cherokee, the Navajo, the Sioux and the Chippewa.

    1. Mary Anne Storch

      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

  1. i wonder how many senators and congress men or women could pass the test.it should be mandatory for all elected officials

    1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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
