Independence Day Quiz

[Monk]

I find it patronizing that after getting a "passing" grade it follows with "congratz". I think i am gonna hurt whoever put this quiz together for that alone.

23/30. What tripped me up were the amendments, something I haven't covered in detail since junior high school. I also missed a couple easy ones because I didn't stop and think.

17...ok on the general knowlege, but the devil was in the details.

Still, not to bad for someone in the unfashionable corner of the Pacific.

Booyah. Although I studied Elective History at school and we covered US history from Independence to the end of the Civil War, so I have somewhat of an advantage.

Question 23 is tricky though: "Which of these amendments is a ratified and current amendment?"

Technically the 18th has been repealled, but is still current as a State can still choose to re-enact prohibition if they want.

Which is where I tripped up, I thought that liquor thing had been completely relegated to the “things we know were wrong and won't do again” category of law. <_<
