Con Law: Pop Quiz

No that's not Con as in Convict, that's Con as in Constitution.

Last night the prof gave us a few trivia questions. Apparently, only two of us in class had any remembrances of US History in the 8th grade.

Prof: When was the Constitution signed?

Student: 1787

Prof: 1787 you say? Then what the hell do we celebrate on July 4?

Me: Signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Prof: You sure about that?

Me: Yup. July 4, 1776.

Prof: Where?

Me: Independence Hall, Philadelphia.


Score one for me. (And I never thought I'd say it but thank you to Richard Kordos for that rousing rendition of the musical "1776".)

Prof: Who were the founding fathers?

After much teeth pulling: Madison, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin.

Prof: Who died on July 4?

Me: Jefferson and one other guy - they died at the same time and as they died they spoke of each other.

Prof: And the other?

Someone else: Monroe.

Cool huh?

Thanks for playing folks!
