It's time to test your knowledge of the founding document of the United States of America. This document is the cornerstone of what has become the greatest country in recorded history and is amazing in both its complexity and simplicity. It is not perfect, but acknowledges this imperfection by giving us a mechanism to change and update it. It's the shortest of all the constitutions currently in use on Earth and, I think, the best. So you think you know about the Constitution? Let's get ready to take the quiz!
