America Quiz
14 Apr '10 23:111 editI don't know that I know any of these, but here's thoughts.
1. Who was the first President of America?
The United States of America was the second experiment of the newly freed colonies, with the federal government handling many of the responsibilities that the states could not effectively handle while maintaining the unity of the country. I am guessing the first president of America would be the man who headed the nation during this time, before the current US Constitution.
2. How many states are there in USA?
I don't see the trick here. As far as I know, we still have 50 states proper. We do, however, have around a dozen or so territories, including Washington DC.
3. How many men have held the office of President before Obama?
Somebody pointed out that Grover Cleveland was elected twice with another man serving between those terms, and is thus counted twice. However, there have also been a few individuals who served as President who were never elected into that office. There were a number of assassinations as well as the resignation of Richard Nixon. I don't think these are counted amongst the official Presidential count, but do count as far as this question goes.
4. What was the date of the Declaration of Independaence?
July 2, 1776 is the date I recall. At any rate it was a few days before the official Independence Day holiday. If I recall right, the document was drawn up on the 2nd, but the last signature placed on it on the 4th. But I am as likely as not wrong on this count.
