I think everyone should have to take a test like that to vote, let's face it, if you don't even know how many branches of government there are, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
That's a decent point. But then they use race and the education system. I went to a private school half my schooling then transfered to public school. In high school one of our teachers gave the entire class the first 10 questions and I got the highest grade of 3 questions right most people got 1 of not 2 right. Thats probably why the legal immigrants who became citizens know our history better as a whole. I was discussing this with an older generation and they said that is intresting and going to look into the citizenship test changing throughout the years. I just think it would be a wakeup call to show the people what the government knows about history and if they can score 70 or 80% on the first 10 questions. I also know someone who passed their citizenship test last year and someone who is in the process and the one who is currently in the process has a choice to take the old one or a new question one. Not sure what the questions are.
