Yesterday at work, my colleague invited me to take a quiz on civics.  He reported his score as being 54%. 

The quiz is given by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and even posts the scores of politicians, and average joes so you can compare.

I invite you all to take the quiz, but beware, I did get a question wrong, but I feel like my answer is pretty much the same answer as the one that was stated to be correct.

Here's a link to the quiz:

What follows is the report of my results:

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.

Yeah I'm the dunce and got a 90.9% :(.  A couple of the questions I was unsure of, and 1 of them I didn't read the other answers.
