Civics

We’ve been going on a bit about voting and such in the comments to my recent Obama post. Keeping in the spirit of that discussion…here’s a civics quiz that’s a LOT harder than most of the fluff I’ve posted in the past (“fluff” refers to quizzes. mostly.).

I’m reasonably pleased with my results:

You answered 54 out of 60 correctly — 90.00 %
Average score for this quiz during February: 71.4%
Average score since September 18, 2007: 71.4%

But you know what’s really sad, Gentle Reader? This:

That’s the average college senior, Gentle Reader.

I think this quiz should be given to everyone attempting to register to vote. Were I King, you wouldn’t be allowed to vote unless you scored a “C,” at the very minimum. Or maybe you could vote twice or more, as your score went up.

How did you do? Would you be allowed to vote in my kingdom?
