Constitution Quiz of the Week!
Can you imagine Aug. 1787 in Philadelphia?
The Federal Convention started Fri., May 25, 1787.
On Mon., Aug. 6, 1787, the “Committee of detail” report had a lot of similarities to the #Constitution eventually signed on September 17th.
Thanks to #JamesMadison’s notes, we can peer into much of the #debates that #summer, including the Committee of Detail report that recommended that #Representatives “shall have been a citizen in the United States for at least three years before his election”.
What was the 3-year requirement for citizenship changed to for Representatives?
A. 7 years
B. 17 years
C. 27 years
Drop your guess below!
The Constitution Quiz of the Week is made in collaboration with the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier.
