“John Adams, in the Defense of the Constitutions (1787), argues for the importance of patriotic education by writing that students and citizens ‘should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.’ A principal means of securing the ‘blessings of liberty’ that the Constitution describes is by educating rising generations about these precious birth rights. In a democratic republic, the primary purpose of education is to cultivate civic and moral literacy among its citizens.”
I got 15 of 20 correct -- a middle C grade.
That’s not good enough -- I need to study more.
Click here for the results of a similar test
(where the average grade was a miserable 44%).
The average citizen needs to study A WHOLE LOT MORE!
