



Q5- We thought that the very first amendment was very important because the US would not be where we are right now without this amendment.



Q6- We thought knowing the 22nd amendment was an important question because term limits are important so we won’t be under one leadership for more than 8 years.



Q7- We thought knowing that there are 9 judges on the Supreme Court would be important because with 9 judges decisions can never come to a tie and the decision is not up to one person.



Q8- We thought knowing the system of Checks and Balances would be important because if one branch was overpowering the other two things might go crazy.



Q9- We though knowing what the starts and stripes on the flag meant would be important because it is an important part of both our geographic history and our countries history.



Q10- We thought it would be important to know the 3rd amendment because if troops were ever quartered into your home during peacetime you could do something about it.
