Civics 101: The New Citizenship Test

  • Name an author of the Federalist Papers.
  • Name a government power that belongs to the states.
  • Name your congressman.
  • Who was president during World War I?

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released the 100 questions that it will be asking next year on its revised citizenship test. And while some of them seem like breeze even for first graders (Who is the “Father of Our Country?”), others could stump plenty of high schoolers.

Other examples:

  • What are two rights only available to U.S. citizens?
  • How many voting members of the House of Representatives?
  • Name a U.S. territory.
