The American Civics test is an examination that all immigrants must pass to gain U.S. citizenship. The test asks 10 randomly selected questions which cover U.S. history, the constitution and government. In 2015 Arizona became the first state to require High School students to pass the test before they graduate.

Yes, and native citizens should be required to pass this test as well
Yes, but test it on citizens first to see if it is even passable and also make it about current topics that would actually affect the country, not history and language.
Yes, as should all born citizens in order to be allowed to vote
Yes all citizens should have to do that as well
Yes, they should have a well understanding of their rights and process of America
All citizens should even ones born here
no, but they should know about how the government works
government yes, for their own benefit and history and language advised but imagine going to another country and learning their whole government, and then having to learn their history and language as a requirement. if their language barrier isn't getting in the way it should be their choice, and history shouldn't be required because if they know the gov. that's all that matters that's what the history lead up to.
Yes, but it should cover basic and simple topics on history but for language and how the government works, they should teach them more or extra just to be sure that they know it.
Yes, but include more information about minorities to the test
Yes, but the test should cover topics that are relevant to this day and age. US History shouldn’t be a requirement.
Yes, as it is necessary for them to understand the workings of our government and their rights as a citizen. However, it should only cover topics taught in public schools that most of the population would and should know.
No, but they should be given an education on the country and provided resources to help them assimilate easily.
I listened to the expectation for people working to become citizens in our country and it was laughable. I am born and raised, 40
years old and I couldn’t answer even half of those questions correctly and I wouldn’t be expected to because I was born here so I guess automatically superior. What a joke.
Yes, regarding basic government and civics. In fact, this should be required of all registered voters. The US does not have an official national language.
Yes, and so should citizens to get voting privileges
@9LVTG9FRepublican12mos
I think they should, but it should not be as big or hard. Just to get a general understanding
Yes, but make people who run for office have to pass it too.
Yes but it should only cover simple laws of the U.S
No, and there should be a new form of test fitting and simple for all
@9L48B49Progressive12mos
Yes, and all natural-born citizens should have to pass one as well to graduate and get a job.
@9KZW2TLRepublican12mos
Yes, but it should be free to take.
Still have much to learn regarding this subject matter
Yes, but we should hold our own citizens to the same level of knowledge
no, most citizens couldn’t pass the test. but there should be extensive background and criminal checks for immigrants seeking citizenship
Yes, but it should be VERY basic. Everyone should be able to pass it with just a little bit of studying.
No, the country should demonstrate diversity and not use a test.
Yes. And so should citizens
@9KF2VNMIndependent12mos
before being given a test they should be educated.
Yes, I strongly believe so. I don't believe anyone should be forced to speak English, but I also believe that if someone is to become a citizen in the United States, they should learn the history of our government and how it works, as well as the nation's language, or at least the basics of our language. If future citizens are to become that, a citizen, they must be educated on government to preserve democracy and ensure that their vote goes towards the president they believe to have the best policies during presidential elections.
Yes, and provide this same training to US residents one month after high school graduation
Yes but provide courses as part of the citizenship test so the immigrants have the tools they need to become a citizen
Yes, but basic history and government questions. There should never be any language requirement.
Yes, all citizens should need to pass one as well.
Yes and so should all US citizens
Yes, and so should every American citizen going through the public education system.
It should be there choose after they learn the basics. I mean we came to the USA form Britain in the first to make our own choices.
Everything minus language. The education of American history to those entering our nation is crucial, but somewhat unfair considering how little those born in the US know about the subject.
Yes, and citizens should be required to understand the same information.
Yes, and our own citizens must be able to pass this as well.
No, it should test things more like how to make a resume, apply for college, save money, etc.
Make it risk reward: Let them choose if they want to take it. If they do and pass, they will gain additional benefits and the process will be easier, if they fail the process of becoming a citizen will be more difficult.
No, but maybe require classes and trainings for adults and require regular schooling for minor children.
No, instead implement an evaluation system based on the content of their character.
Only if all citizens are required to pass the same test.
Yes, but natural born citizens should be able to pass the test as well
We should make sure out own citizens understand our country’s language, history, and government.
Yes and also all citizens should pass a test, perhaps to vote?
Yes, but it should be a course teaching immigrants how to participate in American voting rights
Yes, but only to make sure immigrants know their rights given to them by the US government and so they fully know what country they are immigrating to
