While many of us would like to hear less about illegal aliens and more about people becoming official citizens of the United States, would you be able to pass a basic citizenship test?
For example: What is the supreme law of the land? How many Supreme Court justices are there? How many amendments does the Constitution have?
These are just a few of the questions discussed that were part of a basic citizenship test taken by 1,000 Americans as reported by Newsweek magazine. Sadly, their report indicated that 38% of those taking the test failed.
How does civic ignorance regarding such questions imperil our future? Find out how listeners responded to that question when you review this edition of Crosstalk.
