About this Quiz

The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington. Under America's first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries. At the 1787 convention, delegates devised a plan for a stronger federal government with three branches–executive, legislative and judicial–along with a system of checks and balances to ensure no single branch would have too much power. The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual—like freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the people or the States. More amendments were added over the years, with the 27th and last amendment being ratified in 1992. These amendments cover a wide range of rights, from the right to bear arms, to the prohibition of alcohol and its subsequent repeal, to voting rights for all citizens regardless of race, color, or gender.
