Question No. 11: Anyone applying for American citizenship is expected to know some things about major historical figures, including Susan B. Anthony and Abraham Lincoln. Another potential question may be, “What is one thing Thomas Jefferson is known for?”

Question No. 12: The Federalist Papers urged the ratification of the US Constitution. Name one of the writers.
