I wouldn't know the first one if I didn't keep a copy of the Constitution handy for all occasions. 15 gave citizens the right to vote regardless of race or "previous condition of servitude." The 19th gave women the right to vote.
The President is the commander in chief of the US Military. Scary thought, that.
And for Connecticut senators, I won't apologize for having to look that up, since I am in California. Lieberman and Dodd
P.S. Edit: dang! Forgot about the 26th Amendment lowering the voting age to 18.

--15th Amendment (1870): no law may restrict any race from voting.
--19th Amendment (1920): no law may restrict any sex from voting.
--23rd Amendment (1961): residents of the District of Columbia can vote for the President
--24th Amendment (1964): neither Congress nor the states may condition the right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or other type of tax
--26th Amendment (1971): no law may restrict those above 18 years of age from voting
2) Comander in Chief of the US military is the US President
3) Dodd, Christopher J.- (D - CT);

Who's values? sounds a little too arbitrary to me. I think it's important that people that live here understand how the government is supposed to work. It's pretty sad that I know an immigrant from Honduras that knows more about our government than people that lived here their entire lives. That test should be administered in schools
