Could You Pass The Citizenship Test?

Ok, so apparently I'm dumber than the Cuban refugees trying to get their US Citizenship because they pass the test every day....and honestly, I FAILED miserably.  Newsweek magazine just published the results of a survey they did highlighting just how ignorant America really is.  They gave the standard U.S. citizenship test to 1,000 American adults, and the magazine found that 38% could not qualify to be a citizen of their own country. Of those tested, 29% couldn’t name the current vice-president, 73% couldn’t correctly say why America fought the Cold War, 44% were unable to define the Bill of Rights, and 6% couldn’t circle Independence Day on a calendar. A whopping 80% didn’t know who the president was during World War I, and 67% weren’t aware that the U.S. has a capitalist economic system. Men performed better on the test than women, with 67% passing versus 58% of women. The U.S. citizenship test is composed of 100 questions across 5 categories: American government, systems of government, rights and responsibilities, American history, and integrated civics.
