Many U.S. residents prep for Independence Day by cleaning the barbecue grill, buying wieners and booze in bulk and raising the flag, but what are we actually celebrating? Test your knowledge of our nation's July Fourth history. **HAVE SOME FUN, TAKE IT!

"You answered 10 questions correctly out of 10. If you scored a perfect 10, you're ready for a political office. If you got 7 or better, you're ready to vote. Fewer than 7 right? Ask an immigrant to teach you about our nation's history."

Guess I'm ready for politicial office......(though, in all honesty, I must admit that I guessed at two of the answers!)

I knew before I took the test I would need the help of an immigrant. I don't intend to run for office anyway, but I wonder how well our political leaders would do on that test.

This was fun! I am not one for minutia or have a trivia type head so, I did not score a 10, but this was fun just the same. I was left with the urge to try other quizes. (I used to hate them in school).

Ok get me $100M and I'll run. I doubt many people in congress would pass this, Too bad it wasn't strictly on the Constitution.

I'll bet alot of people missed "When in the course of Human events" and picked "We The People " instead.

Yes, Tom, I am ashamed that I missed "When in the course of Human events" and picked "We The People". It is one of my favorite quotes, which makes it that much more embarassing.
