	Please accept 'unlimited' and '2/two'. Would have perfect in that case.

	scgal:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 18:52 GMT	0 points
	Agreed! Good quiz.

	TwoSheds:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:06 GMT	3 points
	Second buckeye. Also it's the DemocratIC party. Otherwise, great!

	BeatNavy:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	-3 points
	accept "first ten ammendments of constitution" or even just "first ten ammendments"

	caligal14:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	0 points
	I agree with beatnavy and defintiely accept 'two' for 'two terms' I was sitting there trying to remember if there was some weird loophole that I didn't know about

	MeltedMan:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:46 GMT	4 points
	No, don't accept mispellings for answers. I agree that you should accept "2/two". And maybe consider accepting "original states" or "original colonies" as the answer.

	lilchocdonut:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:57 GMT	1 point
	thanks for the suggestions Beatnavy: "first ten amendments" is an accepted answer Buckeye: unlimited has been added, but I intentionally put "years" after 2 to distinguish from days, months, decades, terms, etc.. Meltedman: I accept "The 13 original colonies/colonies/13 colonies/13 original states"

	Reed:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 20:04 GMT	4 points
	I think the complaint about 2 was more aimed at 2 terms. When you ask "How many terms can a President serve?" it is redundant to require "terms" in the answer. That was particularly problematic because a person could serve more than two terms if they were appointed as president for less than 2 years

	PublicEnemy:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 20:15 GMT	-1 points
	good quiz! Does 24 make me an american citizen?

	lilchocdonut:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	0 points
	I think they need to get 6 out of 10 questions correct to pass...so yes

	edderson:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	12 points
	I think the judiciary branch of our govrenment consists of a little more that just the Supreme Court. Fun quiz though.

	Shay:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	20 points
	It was 'Great Britain' that the US got its independence from, not England. England and Scotland unified earlier, in 1707. Great quiz!

	Was writing democrats. I think that should be usable.

	fm_:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 05:05 GMT	4 points
	The judicial branch encompasses the entire federal court system, not just the Supreme Court. Your source has a factually incorrect answer to this question.

	rockgolf:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:41 GMT	16 points
	The WW2 question is a bit troublesome. You should specify 1)the three biggest countries 2)in alphabetical order. #1 because the US declared war on at least 3 other countries during WW2. #2 because entering Japan, Italy, Germany is also correct.

	JezuzFingerz:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 14:30 GMT	-1 points
	Whew! Good thing I was born here

	wickedbaja223:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 15:41 GMT	3 points
	great quiz, but i agree with MeltedMan that "original colonies" should be accepted. i missed that one because i didn't add the "13" into the answer

	Nafets:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 07:51 GMT	3 points
	Try to add a bit more variety for the colonies question ... I tried about half a dozen variations before getting it. In particular, the number isn't particularly needed, as it's already the answer to the previous question. Fun quiz :)

	emn8:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 14:50 GMT	8 points
	"Germany, Italy, and Japan" should be accepted in any order. "Democrats" and "Republicans" should also be accepted in either order.

	trumpetchic94:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 19:12 GMT	1 point
	i only missed four. i can stay american right?

	kristen58:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 21:15 GMT	7 points
	100%! Yay! And I think every American should get 100%, these are questions anyone in the US over the age of 13 should know.

	warcry49:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 21:52 GMT	-3 points
	what is the bill of rights is too broad of a question

	Catcher3M:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	3 points
	I put Germany Japan Italy and it did not work. Other than that, cool quiz.

	amp2006:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	1 point
	easy

	swallowtail:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 19:50 GMT	6 points
	Thank you Shay - agree with England being incorrect. I'm from Scotland and I get rather fed up of England and Britain being interchangeable for so many! England and Scotland are two countries that are part of Great Britain! Thank you - rant over!

	sporcalicious:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 00:25 GMT	1 point
	As other people noted, the stripes question needs to accept more answers. I tried a bunch of correct answers but they didn't come up. Should accept "first 13 states," "first 13 colonies" "original 13 states," etc. (and with 13 spelled out, also, for each example). But great quiz, and glad to know that after living here my whole life I was able to answer most of them (missed two, not counting the stripes question).

	@ Chocolatl: That's simply incorrect. The 22nd amendment reads as follows: Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

	I didn't get credit for "Romania, Bulgaria, and arguably Finland."

	Shay:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 22:54 GMT	1 point
	@Swallowtail - no problem m8, that's where I'm from too - hence the profile picture!

	brmtheterrorist:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 02:30 GMT	-1 points
	great, if you don't use the exact phrase "one for each state in the union" you don't get credit. Make it accept "50 states" and other obvious variations.

	@JimKatz- those weren't our enemies in WWII

	grant1314:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 16:49 GMT	1 point
	you got your independence from the uk not england as a scot though i wish we werent connected to england and do not like to be british i am certainly not english!

	toomuchfreetime:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	1 point
	Before, I thought the US citizenship test would just ask you to name all the states and their capitals and to sing the national anthem. i could have done that (thanks sporcle). But this... I mean jesus, I'm never going to be a us citizen at this rate.

	lalalala:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 04:18 GMT	5 points
	Easy for a citizen! Every American should know all this stuff by the time they finish elementary school. Sadly, I bet Jay Leno could go out on the street and find a bunch of people who wouldn't know any of these, though...

	sdc14:	Dec 13th, 2009 at 15:45 GMT	3 points
	good quiz....with the judicial question, I think that "court system" or "courts" in general should be acceptable

	werunforfun:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 01:14 GMT	-2 points
	accept amendments to constitution for Bill of rights
