	The amendment allowing for income taxes was the 16th. The 17th established the direct election of U.S. senators.

	@Blowfish: Thanks for the catch!

	Wow, a lot of people (myself included) got tripped up by the fact that the CSA Constitution included a three-fifths rule exactly duplicating the US Constitution's, except with "other persons" less euphemistically replaced by "slaves." That was devious.

	@laplacedemon: I got that one specifically because the professor of my freshman U.S. history class made a big deal about the fact that the U.S. Constitution does not include the word "slave." As for this quiz: wonderful! One of the best I've encountered here. So refreshing to run into a quiz that isn't "Seven-letter countries with two occurrences of the letter A" or other such alphabet games.

	I think there was both a provisional and a permanent Constitution of the C.S.A. Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens were sworn in twice, once under the Provisional Constitution and later under the permanent one (after winning a formal election). You might wish to specify for users' benefit which constitution you're consulting.

	I checked on Wikipedia, and the provisional constitution itself (unlike the President and VP elected under the provisional constitution) only governed for about 31-32 days, Feb. 8 to March 11, 1861. I don't know if the wording of any of your extracts differed between the two constitutions. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Confederate_States_Constitution, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_States_Constitution, and for their texts: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Provisional_Government_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America and http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America

	@shakescene: Very good point. These quotes are from the permanent CSA Constitution. I will so indicate.

	General rule of thumb: the US Constitution never uses the word negro nor overtly refers to a specific race.
