Publisher Releases 10-Question Constitution Quiz as USCIS Uses Tougher Civics Test

Summary
A 10-question sample quiz based on USCIS study materials was published on Sept. 17 to mark Constitution Day and honor new U.S. citizens.
The quiz reflects a revised civics test that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began using last year for naturalization applicants, a version many consider more difficult.
One question asks which amendment guarantees citizenship to people born or naturalized in the United States; the correct answer is the 14th Amendment.
That amendment remains politically charged after President Donald Trump targeted birthright citizenship by executive order, though the Supreme Court in June upheld the principle that almost everyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen.
