[quote:Anonymous Coward 1230366:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzY2OTU2XzE1MTQ2M0Mz] the constitutions original objective was to limit big gubberment. The founding fathers knew that the federal big gubberment was the thing to keep in check. And be careful they never have any over bearing power. Which fact has been wittled away now for the last 200 years. The elites or power hungry have one purpose in life. Control over the masses so they can live very well. [/quote]

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute polled 2500 people including 164 elected officials. 74% of Elected officials, and 71% of the general population failed the test. You can read the story here. [

I am embarrassed to say I only got 88%. Please take the test and post your scores to see how much smarter GLPers are than the Elected officials that are supposed to support the document they know so little about. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, but please post your first score hear.
To simplify the posting here is a poll.
