i knew most of them easily. but there were a few i wasn't sure about but even then it was less than 5.

some of them i knew mostly because i was familiar with certain terms being used when we talk about politics , economics and other issues in the US. if i was asked without multiple choice questions i might not be able to answer. but with one correct answer being shown i could recall having heard about it before.

The correct answer is Congress. The three branches of government are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. I understand the argument that congress is the legislative branch, but that's not how it's outlined in the constitution.

Thanks for that little game, sheshe2. That was a fun diversion!

Oh, by the way, I, too, got 100%. There were two questions that I really had to think about: the date the Constitution was signed and how many delegates attended the Constitutional Convention. I confess to making educated guesses for both... but a win's a win!

Thanks again!

eg: Is Social Security tax Proportional, Regressive, or Progressive?

It's a flat percent, so it's proportional.

There's a cap, high-earners don't pay after a certain income, so it's regressive.

Higher earners will get proportionally less back in payments than lower earners, so it's progressive.

I answered that it is proportional.

Then I guessed on a few others.
