Three branches of Government

Ok, the other day on the news I saw a story that said most US citizens could not pass a test on US Government. To me that is a little bit sad.

I don't know how hard the questions were, so I can't be too judgmental about it. However, the study also showed that 1 in 3 Americans thought that the three branches of government were "Republican, Democrat, and Independent".

YIKES!

The three branches of government are "Republican, Democrat, and Independent"?

I mean really! If I were President I would try to pass a law that you had to AT LEAST know what the three branches of government are in order to vote.

I don't want to harp on this too much, but I am all for giving some sort of quiz to determine if voters know what they are voting for. Maybe then not so many people would vote for Mickey Mouse.

I don't think the founding fathers envisioned the masses voting for people when they didn't even know what branch of the government they running for.

For those who don't know that the three branches of government are "Legislative, Executive and Judicial", then study this sentence until you memorize it. Next, go check out this Brain Pop video/game on Yahooligans to learn more about the three branches of government.
