Consitution Quiz

Texas lawyer Gary Tricheter recently shared a Constitution quiz from the Washington Post.  I write to challenge you to take the Constitution Quiz.

Attorney Tricheter challenged all to remember Constitution day as it had come and gone, September 17 almost without notice.  I agree with his sentiment and echo his challenge.

Take the quiz.  As a defense lawyer who frequently cites, talks about and daily uses the Constitution it is important to remember the roots of the document the history behind it and how it affects our daily lives.
We the People need to be vigilant of our rights, system of governance and our freedoms.
