A surprising number have it all wrong — take this test to find out how you rate on the patriotism chart.
That’s according to a new that tested the patriotic knowledge of 1,000 US respondents, 99% of whom identified as either a born or naturalized citizen of the United States.
Although 41% got the question wrong, 22% came close, choosing “The establishment of the United States as an independent nation.” “At night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated,”Where the rest of the survey was concerned, however, many respondents did well in their understanding of U.S. history and Civics, answering a series of questions that are often used in the U.S. Citizenship Test.
But some basic civics lessons still eluded those polled; for example, only 65% knew that there are nine members of the Supreme Court, which is currently in session.
