Okay, I did note the #'s of the questions I got wrong, and will admit to my mistakes (which I will never make again <s>): 22. How many changes or amendments are there to the Constitution? I guessed "20-some-odd". It's 27 32. For how long do we elect each senator? I thought it was 4 years (it's 6). This was a baddie, I know. 33. How many voting members are in the House of Representatives? I thought 450, but the exact number is 435 34. For how long do we elect the representatives? Another baddie. I thought 4 years, it's 2. 54. How many Supreme Court justices are there? For some stupid reason, I thought 12 (as in "jury"), but then, seeing the answer is 9, I immediately thought "Oh, I knew that!" Where did the number 9 come from, anyway? 80. In what year was the Constitution written? 1776+ a few years wasn't good enough (1787) Bill > HALinNY _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
