Speaking of freedom; America was founded on principals and terms of independence and personal freedom. This is all Americans speak of but barely acknowledge. Multiple studies show that most Americans know nothing about the constitution and documents that this country is based on.

In the 1950s, a reporter decided in the 4th of July to hang the declaration of independence on a clipboard and told people it was a petition. From 111 people only one person recognized it and agreed to sign it while another one said that it is a Russian declaration of Independence.

Without forgetting the countless polls that found most Americans barely understand the constitution and not aware of how America works. This one isn’t at all funny; it’s only sad and somehow terrifying.
