          I'm not American but I watch "The daily show" and the "Colbert report"
          I scored 84.85 %. The ones that I got wrong were:

          Spoiler:
          Incorrect Answers

          Question: Which of the following statements is true about abortion?
          Your Answer: it is currently legal only in cases of rape or incest, or to protect the life of the mother
          Correct Answer: the Supreme Court struck down most legal restrictions on it in Roe v. Wade

          Question: The Bill of Rights explicitly prohibits:
          Your Answer: discrimination based on race, sex, or religion
          Correct Answer: establishing an official religion for the United States

          Question: What impact did the Anti-Federalists have on the United States Constitution?
          Your Answer: their influence ensured that the federal government would maintain a standing army
          Correct Answer: their arguments helped lead to the adoption of the Bill of Rights

          Question: Name one right or freedom guaranteed by the first amendment.
          Your Answer: Due process
          Correct Answer: Religion

          Question: What was the source of the following phrase: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”?
          Your Answer: the speech “I Have a Dream”
          Correct Answer: Gettysburg Address



          The scores they give for college graduates' result must be fake (or there is a huge margin of error). Especially compared to result of Apolytoners.

          If true the whole thing just proves that democracy is worthless. What good is there in people's government when said people are stupid.

            Sir Og, I think you would have done better if you had paused a bit and thought about some of them, especially the first two. The Bill of Rights were made when slavery was still legal in this country (it's the first 10 amendments of the Constitution) so it couldn't possibly prohibit discrimination based on race. Abortion is allowed in the US as should come across to you from our aggressive abortion debates presented in the media and here on Apolyton.

              Apolyton doesn't curve out to be average.

                  I got 34 out of 33 correct.

                  What a stupid test.

                    I refuse to take the test, on the grounds that I am already one of God's chosen!

                    ACK!
                    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
