13/22

Reason for Question

We chose this question because every

American citizen should know the colors of

their own countrys flag. If you were from

Italy, you would know that your flag colorsare red, white, and green. A countrys flag

colors are one thing that an American

citizen should know about. Another reasonis because the flag is the symbol of our

country, making the colors important.


14/22

Reason for this Question

On our flag, there are 13 stripes. Those 13

stripes represent the 13 original colonies.

These colonies are the first 13 states of

the 50 states in America. If you are anAmerican citizen, you should know all of

the 13 original states that make up part of

their country.


15/22

Reason for Choosing This Question

We chose this question because slaverywas one of the most important things inour history. Slavery was oh so very cruel,

and the president who ended it should berecognized. If an American citizen did notknow of the president who ended slaveryin America, that would be downright

wrong. Abraham Lincoln went through alot to end slavery, and every Americancitizen should know who he is.


16/22


The Declaration of Independence is one of

the most important documents that

America has. America would still be

fighting England if it werent for theDeclaration of Independence. The person

who mainly wrote it should be credited for

freeing America. An American citizenshould know who wrote one of our most

important documents.

18/22


The Bill of Rights contains the first 10

amendments to our constitution. Every American

should know all of them by heart, especially the

first one. They should know the first amendmentbecause it expresses the right, we have, to say

what we really believe in. It is a strong, important

amendment, and every American citizen should

know it.


19/22


We chose this question because there are

many complicated things about the

government. Simply, if you put the

government into groups, such as, thethree branches, it will be much easier to

understand how it all works and what they

all do.


20/22


We chose this question because we believe that

everyone should know that they have more than

laws protecting them; they have rights. They have

the right to do many things, thanks to the Bill ofRights. Some people know about the rights but

they don't know why they were created, and what

the purpose is. These things are all very important

because they are things we live by every day.


21/22


The system of Checks and Balances is a very

important system. Without it, different branches

would have more power over others. One of the

most important things about Checks andBalances is that the president cannot declare

war on his own, only Congress can declare war.

That is important to know, because if the

president declares war, it could be for spilledmilk. With this system, Congress makes the

decision, not the president.


22/22


We chose this question because it was a

great example of a major supreme court

decision. This also is a good example of

the 1st Amendment. An American citizenshould know what the 1st Amendment is,

and also what the Supreme Court does.
