 Q1- We felt it important that a US citizen should know who
was in the Executive Branch so they knew how part of our
government was run by.

 Q2- A follow up on Q1 but on the Legislative Branch.

 Q3- We thought that everyone in the US should know our

national anthem. It is very important in our history.

 Q4- We thought every US citizen should know when the US

became a democracy. This is probably one of the most
important dates in our country.

 Q5- We thought that the very first amendment was very

important because the US would not be where we are right
now without this amendment.
 Q6- We thought knowing the 22nd amendment was an important question
because term limits are important so we won’t be under one leadership
for more than 8 years.

 Q7- We thought knowing that there are 9 judges on the Supreme Court
would be important because with 9 judges decisions can never come to a
tie and the decision is not up to one person.

 Q8- We thought knowing the system of Checks and Balances would be

important because if one branch was overpowering the other two things
might go crazy.

 Q9- We though knowing what the starts and stripes on the flag meant
would be important because it is an important part of both our geographic
history and our countries history.

 Q10- We thought it would be important to know the 3rd amendment

because if troops were ever quartered into your home during peacetime
you could do something about it.
