I found this interesting, scary, but interesting. No wonder our elected officials can keep taking our rights away, we don't even know what they are. And neither do they!
 Seventy-one percent of Americans fail the test, with an overall average score of 49%.
Elected Officials Score Lower than the General Public Officeholders typically have less civic knowledge than the general public. On average, they score 44%, five percentage points lower than non-officeholders.
