8 of 10... I answered the precedent for Judicial Review incorrectly, and then also answered the Federalism question in how it's practiced in the US today, rather than what it's supposed to be.

10/10 but I am in AP Government class so I should know this.  If I can get an 80% on that same test 20 years from now it would be more impressive.

If it is so boring, how come more than 1/4 of the world population watched the World Cup?
