Reason for this question

 Tinker V. Des Moines
• In this Supreme Court decision kids wore black wristbands to school to
protest American involvement in Vietnam. The school decided that they
could not wear on school grounds, but some of the kids felt strongly about it
and continued to wear the bands. When they got to school they got in
trouble for violating the school dress code. This case was brought to court
and the jury decided it was okay for them to wear them to school because of
what amendment?

• The 3rd

• The 2nd

• The 1st Reason for choosing this question

Correct!
Sorry You are
Incorrect
 Reason for Question
• We chose this question because every
American citizen should know the colors of
their own country’s flag. If you were from
Italy, you would know that your flag colors
are red, white, and green. A country’s flag
colors are one thing that an American
citizen should know about. Another reason
is because the flag is the symbol of our
country, making the colors important.
 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 an
American citizen, you should know all of
the 13 original states that make up part of
their country.
Reason for Choosing This Question
• We chose this question because slavery
was one of the most important things in
our history. Slavery was oh so very cruel,
and the president who ended it should be
recognized. If an American citizen did not
know of the president who ended slavery
in America, that would be downright
wrong. Abraham Lincoln went through a
lot to end slavery, and every American
citizen should know who he is.
Reason for Choosing This Question
• The Declaration of Independence is one of
the most important documents that
America has. America would still be
fighting England if it weren’t for the
Declaration of Independence. The person
who mainly wrote it should be credited for
freeing America. An American citizen
should know who wrote one of our most
important documents.
 Reason for this Question
• 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 amendment
because 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.
 Reason for choosing this question

• We chose this question because there are

many complicated things about the
government. Simply, if you put the
government into groups, such as, the
three branches, it will be much easier to
understand how it all works and what they
all do.
 Reason for this Question
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 of
Rights. 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.
 Reason for this Question
• 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 and
Balances 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 spilled
milk. With this system, Congress makes the
decision, not the president.
Reason for Choosing This Question
• 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 citizen
should know what the 1st Amendment is,
and also what the Supreme Court does.
