The Citizenship Test

Both A and F weeks have completed a "quiz" race. It's actually an old version of the citizenship test. The point of that test was that many people who have lived in America their whole lives do not even know the basic facts about the founding of the nation.

We'll learn the basic facts, but what we want to do most of all is learn about the government so we know how to access it and how to use it when necessary.

The next week or so will be dedicated to citizenship. What makes a good citizen? What are the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. If you were the leader of some island out in the ocean, and you could take whoever you wanted, make whatever laws you wanted, and make it successful in whatever way you wanted, what would you do? What kind of government would you want to rule your citizens? How would you want your country to operate?
