U.S. Government Trivia Questions

1. NAFTA took effect on January 1, 1994. It was a trade agreement between the United States, Canada and what third country?

From Quiz
Twenty-Five Years of Trade Deals

Answer: Mexico

The North American Free Trade Agreement was finalized in 1992, after six years of negotiations. It was signed by U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas in December of 1992, and approved by the legislatures of the three countries over the course of 1993. Interestingly, by the time NAFTA took effect, both Bush and Mulroney were out of office.

2. How many senators are in the United States Congress?

From Quiz Could You Pass a US Citizenship Test?

Answer: 100

There are one hundred senators in Congress because two are chosen from each of the 50 states. To be chosen as a senator a person must be at least thirty years old, have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years, and be a resident of the state they are representing. In 1788, Pennsylvania became the first state to elect two senators to Congress. A senator is elected for a six year term, but there is no limit on how many terms can be served.

3. In the mid-19th century, the Whig party had four men serve as President of the United States. Who was not a Whig?

From Quiz American Political Parties and Splinter Groups

Answer: James K. Polk

At its full power the Whigs were a personality-driven party. All-star politicians were Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Harrison, Tyler, and Fillmore. Even Abe Lincoln was a Whig for awhile. In reality, only Harrison and Zachary Taylor were elected Whigs; both died in office and Tyler and Fillmore finished terms. James Polk was elected in 1844 to split the eight-year Whig dominance. The Whigs rose to ascendance in part as a reaction to the populist policies of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. Just being opposed to the Democrats was not really enough. The Party got off to self defeating start in 1836 when it nominated four candidates for president including Daniel Webster and William Henry Harrison. Harrison was able to nab the post in 1840. Democrat James K. Polk presided for four years defeating Henry Clay 1844.

7. What supposition did Mark Twain use in speaking about the US Congress? "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose that you were a member of Congress. But _________________."

Answer: Jefferson Davis

Jefferson Finis Davis lived from June 3 1808 to December 6 1889 and served as the president of the Confederate States of America for its entire history during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865.

From Quiz Political Potpourri

Answer: Aaron Burr

From Quiz 1990s All-American Politics

Answer: To not create new taxes

Bush delivered the famous "Read my lips: no new taxes" promise at the 1988 Republican Convention during what became known as the "points of light" speech. The delivery of the phrase was so impactful it became a central point of his campaign and may have contributed to his victory in the presidential race.

Bill Clinton capitalized on this controversy during the 1992 Presidential campaign which led, in part, to Bush's defeat.
