I believe these are the sorts of things for which citizens have, on occasion, overthrown governments and lined up those responsible to be shot. - Jon Wiley
What's your score? Better than the average? Amazingly, the elected officials who took this quiz fared worse than the average respondent. - Kevin Fox

81.8% Not entirely proud of that score, but at least I now know I am over-qualified to hold political office in this country. - Ryan Kaisoglus
32/33 - missed the last one. Hard to see how anyone could miss half the questions. - John Craft
84.85% for me. Are you going to reveal your score Kevin? Perhaps we should all apply for positions with the new administration. - Shellee
"Perhaps we should all apply for positions with the new administration." - That whole "list every blog comment that might be embarrasing" sorta knocks me out ;) - John Craft
87.88% here. I didn't know enough about the Anti-Federalists or Thomas Jefferson's letters. - Kevin Fox
84.85% for me, just glad I was above average for once! - Carl Haynes
I got an 87.88%, too, and I should totally have gotten the last one, but didn't read it carefully enough. - Ladybug Heather
93.94. Upon rereading, I can't believe I got the last one wrong. - Robert Christ
Jim, that's why we never liked you. :) - Steve Craft
93.94%. I had the same reaction, Robert. - Jon Wiley
32/33, missed #7. That 79% of those who have been elected to public office don't know the answer to #6 is unexpected and frankly, scary. - Ruchira S. Datta
97% - I missed #7. Interesting mix of civics, history, and a couple outliers in that quiz... And for the record, I semi-guessed on a couple of them. - Brian Johns
84.85% (missed 5 questions) I'll definitely chalk a few up to being a good test taker, rather than actually KNOWING the answers. - Alessandra Novak
100% ... though the snippet on #7 is short enough I almost got it wrong, and a few were process of elimination ("wall of separation" isn't literally in the constitution, and obviously isn't in the other wrong answers). - Alex Power
I wish we saw more Progressive Enhancement on the web -- and particularly at Google. Instead, it seems like we're always building big harry javascript apps, even when a simple page would do. - Braden Kowitz
That tends to happen when you write Java that writes JavaScript. - Jon Wiley
"…the continent versus the country there…" Gov. Palin is such a joke. That this person had a chance at being VP should be grounds for charging the McCain campaign with reckless endangerment of Earth. I guess that makes me a jerk, too. - Jon Wiley
