Got 'em all.  


ETA:  I would hope that would just scratch the surface of what people are required to learn in order to become citizens.

Answered all of them correctly.  I believe that I probably learned all of that information elementary school or junior high.

Yup. I had to take a real one.

You get a sheet of questions and answers to study ahead of time.

Then while talking (interview) with a person at the INS office they ask you 10 randomly selected questions an you have to get 7 right.

This is how it was in 01' when I went through the process.

12,000 pts.

I bet there are thousands of "citizens" that can't answer a 1/4 of those questions correctly. Hell, I bet there are thousands of Natural Born Americans that cannot answer half of those right. Sad.

How many of you said the most important right is the right to bear arms?  Be honest

I have to admit I got one wrong.  Had a brain fart on the last state to be added (I clicked alaska).

Did anyone notice the horseshit answer for the 800pt question under US Rights-

C. Every American has the right to drink alcohol and carry firearms.

Sounds like a cheap-shot to me.

What is the deal with Gannet anyway? Right or Left leaning?

What does the rest of the question say?

"What is the most important right granted to United States Citizens?"

The Constitution gives Citizens the right to vote.

The first and second amendment stop Congress from limiting pre-existing rights of all people.



edit to add more text.......

Right of Citizens to vote:



Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868.

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Amendment 15 - Race No Bar to Vote. Ratified 2/3/1870.

1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.



Limitation on congress screwing around with pre-existing rights of all people:



Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

......

Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I took a moment to contemplate that. You could make valid arguments that the RKBA is what empowers the people to defend their freedoms and rights, including the right to vote.

But suffrage is a basic function of the citizen in the political process. Much more basic than the violent overthrow of governments.

I thought Alaska was the 50th state. Lost points on that one.

+1,

I knew that wasn't the opinion they were looking for, but I figure without the right to bear arms, one can easily lose one's right to vote.  That makes arms the most important!

Which is the most important right granted to US Citizens?

Well as one of those guys with a green card, I have to say, I have a few fellow works that will be deported back to mexico.  Even though these guys are white and born in the US, they sucked at this test.

I for one, did pretty good.  Maybe I should go get my citizenship, especially if the test is that easy. No real dates to ask of? sweet!

Oh the Question about the 13 Strips, its not the first 13 states, its the first 13 colonies. So the test is obviously BS
