Constitution Day Quiz
September 16th, 2011 - 7:34 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattWashington, Sept 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The United States will mark the Constitution Day on the 17th of September. The day is set aside to create awareness to the US Constitution which is regarded as one of the best-known political documents in the world. On the surface, that statement seems perfectly true but a simple quiz of the Constitution will expose several people including Americans.
The document which became known as the US Constitution was signed on 1787. Delegates at the Constitutional Convention which took place on the 17th of September that year approved the document and later sent it to the various state Senates where they were ratified to become the Constitution of the Union.
Several Americans know just highlights of the Constitution. The famous part of the Constitution is undoubtedly the First Amendment. The Constitution is the most powerful legal document of the land and no law supersedes statutes of the Constitution. When any law is made which infringes on any of the laws of the Constitution, that law is rendered unconstitutional.
To know how well you know the US Constitution, why don’t you take this quiz? There are only ten questions but after the quiz, you will be in a better position to rate yourself with regards to the knowledge of the US Constitution.
