Attaining American citizenship is not an easy achievement for those born outside the U.S. In addition to having to deal with laws that enable potential civil rights violations, immigrants must demonstrate a robust knowledge of U.S. history and civics. Yet many natural-born Americans emerge from the education system remembering little about how their government works — or worse, ignoring key political developments.

To offer just a little taste of what many immigrants — and, now, Arizona students — must go through in order to get Uncle Sam's stamp of approval, here's a small self-test based on the actual exam questions.

It's time to find out who really deserves to stay in this country: Try to answer at least six of the following questions correctly. Are you up to the challenge?

1. Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

2. What are the first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution collectively called?

3. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

4. What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

5. What was the main concern of the U.S. during the Cold War?

6. When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?

7. A U.S. senator serves for how many years?

8. When is the last day you can submit income tax forms?

9. What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803?

10. The idea of self-government is in the first three words of the Constitution. What are these words?


Answers:

1) John Roberts; 2) Bill of Rights; 3) Thomas Jefferson; 4) Checks and balances; 5) Communism; 6) July 4, 1776; 7) Six years; 8) April 15; 9) The Louisiana territory; 10) We the People.
