Constitution Day: For Many Americans, It’s Time for the Basics

From the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania:

"The American public is ignorant of basic facts about the Constitution. When asked if they knew any of the three branches of government, two-thirds (68%) of Americans said yes. One-third could correctly name all three; one-third could not name any.

Those findings, based on a new national survey of 1,002 people, are being released by the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center to coincide with the national observance of Constitution Day."
