Civics lesson

I got 33 of 33 questions right.

Take the test yourself

Ugh. 28. I could not remember a thing about the Anti-Federalists. Also, I absolutely bombed the economic questions; I personally find multiple-choice tests to become confusing when the test writers make value judgments. Like the question about the levee, there were 2 choices that seemed to be basically the same to me, although in retrospect I realize that the phrase "directly pay for it" was key.
