You answered 95% of questions correctly.

Maine wasn't a colony? Huh.

It was part of MA until the Missouri compromise. It was split off and made its own state in order to allow MO in.

also it was kind of weird to have a state split in two by NH

Also, VT was part of NY prior to the revolution, but before the constitution, it split off.

And I am embarrased to tell which one I missed.

Don't be embarrassed.

The worst that we would do would be to remind you of it everytime you post.

No one is going to kill you.

Maine wasn't a colony? Huh.

It was, but it was part of Massachusetts originally. It became its own state later.

Trick question:

11. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. Which of the following is NOT a federal power?
To declare war
To print money
To declare treaties
To provide education

The enumerated power is to coin money --thereby doing the dual duty of declaring specie as lawful money-- not to print up worthless fiat currency out of thin air.

Oh yeah...Aced the test.

it would be great if it were just printed out of thin air compared to reality, which IS that all of this printed money is on OUR BACKS, the TAX payer's back and their future adult children's back imho.

yes, the Monroe doctrine made maine a state of its own and separated it from massachusetts....

I misguessed two. But would this test make you or prove you are a capable citizen, how? If I were to apply for citizenship to 'Imaginary Nation' would knowing any of this help? And the use of 'federal' seemed odd to me. Number eleven was pure American, it is the individualist concept that so defines us.

PS if I try to gain citizenship to 'IN' I would need to know if it appeals to me and why. http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/88682-a-conservative-wakes-up.html

95% - but to be completely honest I'm glad it was multiple choice.

20 for 20. too easy.

I'm pretty sure the actual citizenship test is a lot harder than this.

I just imagine the Chief Justice as being a really old person..... Strom Thurmond-type old

The questions get progressively harder, and the test is much longer (100 questions). There are several used, so that it's difficult to write the answers on your palms assuming there's only one version.
