[Bill of Rights]

Nice quiz.
You answered 28 out of 33 correctly — 84.85 %
A couple I missed were close calls.

But my favorite question:

6) The Bill of Rights explicitly prohibits:
A. prayer in public school
B. discrimination based on race, sex, or religion
C. the ownership of guns by private individuals
D. establishing an official religion for the United States
E. the president from vetoing a line item in a spending bill

I chose C. That's right, right?

Some of these I really didn't know, and some I had to really sit and think about (and guess anyway)
