These questions are taken from the USCIS New Naturalization Test (Civics, History and Government). We will provide five questions and if you get three right, we will let you become a citizen. (The actual government test is stricter.)

  1. Name one of your Senators. (If you have none say why.)

  2. What is the number of your Congressional district? (If you have none say why.)

  3. What does the President’s Cabinet do?

  4. Name two Cabinet-level offices.

  5. Under our Constitution some powers are reserved to the federal government. Name one of these powers.

(Answers will appear in this space pretty soon.)

    Our system is different, but 3 and 5 do indeed seem to “emphasiz[e] fundamental concepts of American democracy”. The others are a bit silly.

    I’m assuming the numbered Congressional districts elect the members of Congress? Why numbered? Ours have names, usually those of former distinguished political figures. My own Division of Reid is named after a former Premier of my State who became our fourth Prime Minister.

    The first two: Washington, D.C., where “Taxation without Representation” isn’t just the licence plate slogan, it’s the Law.
