I only got around 8 or 9 correct.  I'm not familiar with the phrase, "The 
supreme law of the land".  It's just not anything I ever remember hearing. 
Maybe I wasn't paying attention.  But now I'll probably notice it a lot. 
The other one was Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence. 
That was my best guess and I would have written it down, but I definitely 
was not sure of myself.  I don't specifically recall that.

So...  I guess I'm really that dumb.  Give me a straight "B".

As someone pointed out, if this was not a multiple choice test, it's quite 
possible that no one got more than 7 correct.  I wonder how schools in my 
home state of Michigan would fair.
