More from this section

This is the largest section, 47 questions, and the one most people find hardest. It covers Congress, the presidency, the courts, and what the federal and state governments each control. Expect several questions from here at your interview; the numbers (100 senators, 435 representatives, 9 justices, 27 amendments, terms of 2, 4, and 6 years) are worth drilling until they are automatic.
