Would You Pass the Naturalization Test?

It's Independence Day weekend, which means Americans are out celebrating their nation with backyard BBQs, city-wide festivities and of course, fireworks. But how many natural-born American citizens would pass the naturalization test that's required of all naturalization applicants?

Becoming an American citizen with all the freedoms and opportunities this nation has to offer is the dream of many immigrants. Those who are fortunate enough to be in a position to pursue naturalization must show their allegiance to the United States by promising to fulfill all the responsibilities of citizenship.

Before naturalization applicants can take the Oath of Allegiance, they are tested on the concepts of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, which USCIS says "will help encourage citizenship applicants to learn and identify with the basic values we all share as Americans."
