WTF do I care who Susan B Anthony was?
Why don't they ask a question like "are you aware of the research which shows that sufferage helped usher in the welfare state?"
"What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?"
Um... there's no option for "inoperative"?
"What did the Declaration of Independence do?"
No option for "Provided the philosophical framework for the overthrow of tyrannical government, which some of us realize is still codified in law in the US", which I think is a damned sight more important than "Declared independence from GB"
"Who is the 'Father of Our Country'?"
I would have gone with TJ or Madison (not an option), but there I go mistaking our cult of personality with a constitutional republic....
"What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?"
FAIL... FAIL... FAIL... How about "What's one law of thermodynamics that Newton invented?"
"What is the "rule of law"?"
A pipe dream?
"What is the economic system in the United States?" (corporatism/fascism)
"During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?" (hegemony)
"Name one war fought by the United States in the 1800s." (THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION WAS NEVER DECLARED.)
"What is the supreme law of the land?" (Whatever the armed jackboot is telling you at the moment)
"What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?" (Nothing of lasting consequence)
"Who vetoes bills?" (Nobody!)
"What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?" (Nothing!)
"Who makes federal laws?" (Bureaucrats)
More examples of "I know what you want to hear, and I also know what the actuality is, and they're not the same"
