I got all of these right, an informed citizenry is vital to the survival of any democratic society, in fact as we are thinking about the incredible sacrifices that have been made on our behalf how many of you can me tell the following without looking it up on the net or reference books?

What are the specific functions and purposes of our 3 branches of Government ( Executive, legislative, judicial)

If a President wants to put forward a budget, what body must it be approved by first according to the constitution before it can be enacted into law.

Each of the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the constitution)

Who sits on the Supreme Court currently and who is the current chief justice.

Who all of your state reps and state senators are.

If the president is knocked out of commisson, what is the order of sucession.

What is the reasoning behind the Electorial College .

What our political system is actually considered. For example England would be considered a Parlimentary Government.


Thats a few, people really need to know this stuff, otherwise we become easy picking for brainwashing demogogues of all partys.

I will post the correct answers to those questions tomorow
