I would argue with a couple of the answers...

64. Where does freedom of speech come from?
A. The Bill of Rights.

This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If we assume that the document grants or creates the right, then it can be taken away. The proper understanding is that the right exists, whether by "natural law" or as endowed by "the Creator." The Bill of Rights is a restraint on Government from interfering with a right that pre-exists the Constitution.

87. What is the most important right granted to U.S. citizens?
A. The right to vote.

Well, that's just not true. Voting is not recognized by the Constitution as a "right."


In Alexander v Mineta, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court's interpretation that our Constitution "does not protect the right of all citizens to vote, but rather the right of all qualified citizens to vote.” And it is state legislatures that wield the power to decide who is “qualified.”



As a result, voting is not a right, but a privilege granted or withheld at the discretion of local and state governments.



I say that the most important is the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, which in theory at least, gives the people the ultimate power to ensure against government infringement of their other rights.

Wow...EXCELLENT post....I was so absorbed in getting the answers 'right' I never considered what the answers SHOULD be.
The question to ask now, is whether or not we've been propagandized into 'believing' these false answers ?

ANd I KNOW the right to vote is not a right but a privilege (as is anything a higher authority such as government can regulate, abridge or take away...like a drivers LICENSE or a concealed carry LICENSE...or any kind of a firearms LICENSE...or voter's requirements).
