Immigrants, We get the Test Done.

I have been going to a class called "Nation's Argument" where a student learns about the US constitution, premises and conclusions, and the history of the US. Not only that, but the class also went to an aldermen assembled meeting that spoke on a new policy created by Homeland Security and the executive branch of the US.
Throughout the term, students had learned about the original Citizenship test which consisted on simple one word answers and had 100 questions randomly selected. This document is a proposal for a new system or format for the test. It tries to not only fix the problems but also make it easier for applicants to engage in the test.
I am proud of the different solutions that I had created during this assignment, as well as the augments and acknowledgement of flaws on the original. However, the indepence given from my teacher on the format did create certain barriers I had to overcome. Still, I hope you enjoy the presentation.



Here is a qoute that connects to my reference on the Declaration of Independence.
".. that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.."

This image below is an unfinished version of a skeleton reading the constitution called The Originalist. The reason the drawing is unfinished is because it represents how I feel about the answers and question on the citizen test. That it feels the structure isn't thoughout, and therefore the question are limiting. Just like this drawing, it is a shame that we have an unfinished test with one answer questions that, despite the fairly simple questions, seem to fail the people that it is supposed to help.
