Josh smiled as the class walked into the room for the last time. "You guys have been a lot of fun to teach this semester," he said, looking at all of them. "Hope you learned a little bit of how the American system of government works, but if you didn't, don't tell me, okay? I'd like to think I taught you something. Anyway, have a good summer, and I'll see you back here in the Fall. Except for the seniors, of course--good luck with whatever you end up doing away from Fandom." He smiled. "Just as a warning, I wouldn't mention weetiny bunnies to anyone who hasn't, you know, been here. They might think you're insane."

He passed out the final exam, then sat down at his desk.

1. What concepts of Roman and Greek government did the American Founding Fathers use when coming up with the way they wanted this country to work? Which philosophers of the time influenced their thinking?

2. What was the Great Compromise? How about the 3/5 Compromise?

3. Give me two Constitutional responsibilities of the President of the United States. Throwing out the first pitch isn't one of them, just in case you were wondering.

4. How does a bill become a law? Humming will be mocked.

5. How many Supreme Court justices are there? What do they do?

EC: The Executive Branch is the most powerful branch of the federal government. Prove me right or wrong.
