A Quiz on the Constitution, History, and Economic Freedom

Here is a great quiz on our Constitution, our history, and economic freedom.  It will challenge you in places, but should only take you a few minutes that will be time well spent.

The quiz is the product of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute which says about itself

Founded in 1953, ISI works "to educate for liberty" ­ to identify the best and the brightest college students and to nurture in these future leaders the American ideal of ordered liberty. To accomplish this goal, ISI seeks to enhance the rising generation's knowledge of our nation's founding principles ­ limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, market economy, and moral norms.
Wikipedia characterizes ISI as "paleoconservative," a pejorative not even in my mail program's speller.  Today, it could more properly be called Tea-Party conservative.  William F. Buckley was its first president.
