Let’s go through each statement one by one and decide if it’s true (T) or false (F).
---
1.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land
→ This is correct. The U.S. Constitution is the highest law in the country. All other laws must follow it.
✔ True
2.
Every U.S. citizen must practice the same religion.
→ No! The First Amendment says people can choose their own religion — or no religion at all.
False
3.
The United States got independence from Japan.
→ Nope. The U.S. became independent from Great Britain in 1776, not Japan.
✘ False
4.
The Constitution has 27 amendments.
→ Yes! As of now, there are exactly 27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
✔ True
5.
The first ten amendments to the Constitution are called Preambles
→ Wrong. They’re called the “Bill of Rights.” The Preamble is the opening paragraph of the Constitution.
✘ False
6.
“We the People” are the first three words of the Constitution.
→ Yes! That’s how the Constitution begins.
✔ True
7.
The Constitution interprets and reviews the laws.
→ Not quite. The Supreme Court does that — they interpret laws and check if they match the Constitution. The Constitution itself doesn’t do anything; it’s a document.
✘ False
8.
An amendment is a change or an addition to the Constitution.
→ Exactly right. Amendments update or add to the original Constitution.
✔ True
9.
The third amendment gives people the right to bear arms.
→ No! That’s the Second Amendment. The Third Amendment says soldiers can’t stay in your house without permission during peacetime.
✘ False

The “rule of law” states that no one is above the law.
→ Correct! Even leaders like the President must follow the law.
✔ True
11.

→ Yes. Most businesses are privately owned, and prices are set by supply and demand — that’s capitalism.
✔ True
12.
The Declaration of Independence announced a war against Italy.
→ Absolutely not. It declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. Italy wasn’t even a unified country then!
✘ False
