Been awhile since I have posted a quiz. Hey, I have been playing. That is what retired teachers do. J and I visited the Blackfeet and Flathead Reservations. visited Glacier Park, and saw a delightful production of "You Can't Take It with You" in Columbia Falls, Mt. Even worked in some visits with J's sister and nieces and nephews. Are you ready to ace this quiz? Good!

Early On--two
My daughter has asked me to create a blog where she and her family and friends might entertain themselves from time to time learning about the U.S. Constitution. She thought that I might have some expertise in the area since I spent thirty-seven years teaching high school students about the U.S. and State of Idaho Constitutions. It is my experience that the instruction of history and government seems to be overwhelmed by the raging hormones in a teenager's body, and that such instruction is more appreciated as we become adults. Well, lets give it a go. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

There are thousands of questions that could be posted, but I think we should make this light and quick. You may consult any number of sources for answers, you may rely on your memory, or you could simply Google an answer, or you can cheat (ummm, save precious time?) and immediately look to the comments for the posted answers--whatever floats your boat. One good source is the official U.S. government source--http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_q_and_a.html
