-The Preamble of The Constitution of the United States of America.

Here is a short quiz on The Constitution, See how well You know Your Constitution. The Answers follow below:

1. To prevent the abuse of power, what system is outlined our Constitution?
2. What is the Primary Responsibility of the Federal Government according to The Constitution?
3. What phrase in Our Constitution requires that whatever the Federal Government does, must benefit all citizens in general, and not any specific group.
4. How many times does the word “Democracy” appear in The Constitution?
5. The phrase “Separation of Church and State” is part of the 1st Amendment.
6. How many words are in The Constitution?
7. What are the first 10 Amendments to The Constitution called?
8. Our Constitution was designed to limit the Federal Government because of what?
9. What did our Founders believe was immoral to leave to the next generation?
10. What three words indicate that citizens have the responsibility to understand Our Government and to actively participate?

Now the answers to the quiz.
1. Checks and Balances. Our founders created a Constitutional Control where three branches of government have separate powers, but are partially blended to put checks on each other.
2. National Security. Our Constitution is designed to Protect Our Unalienable Rights. This means ensuring peace and security, by protecting the people from enemies, Foreign and Domestic.
3. General Welfare. This phrase is often misunderstood to mean that the Federal Government should provide everything to everyone. Our founders understood that when people look to government to provide for them, they are not truly free. Our Constitution is design to restrain Government, so We are free – Free to try, free to succeed, free to fail.
4. Zero. Our form of Government is a Republic, not a Democracy. Our Founders understood that pure democracies result in Chaos, whereas a Republic results in ordered freedom. A Republic is a system where we elect people to represent our best interests. They are servants of the people, and the people have the power to appoint or remove them.
5. False. “Separation of Church and State” is not mentioned anywhere in The Constitution. The 1st Amendment prohibits Government from establishing a National Religion. It does not prohibit religion from the public place or from government.
6. 4400.
7. The Bill of Rights. The name is misleading. It is a list of prohibitions to keep the Federal Government from infringing on the rights of the People or the States.
8. Human Nature. Many say the Our Constitution is a document written for the times, and should be changed. The true genius of our Founders is that Our Constitution was written to control something that has never changed, and never will change – Human Nature.
9. Debt. Our Constitution provides for the Government to borrow money, but only for dire circumstances, such as war or other national emergencies. Our Founders understood that national debt results in excessive taxation , and considered it of supreme importance for the survival of a free people to eliminate debt.
10. We The People. Each individual is free, with the right to control their own affairs. The right to govern is therefore in the People themselves.
