Question 15: Understanding American symbols is also part of the test, so two questions are “Why does the flag have 13 stripes?” and “Why does the flag have 50 stars?”

Answer: The stripes represent the 13 original colonies, while the stars represent the 50 individual states.

Question 16: The division of power between the federal and state governments is a key aspect of the United States’ government. So, two questions on the test are: “What is one power of the federal government?” and “What is one power of the states?”

      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
