Wednesday marked national Constitution Day, the 227th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. But only 36 percent of Americans can actually name the three branches of government the Constitution created.

That�s according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center, and it shows a huge percentage of Americans might need to take a civics refresher course.

Only 38 percent of Americans knew the Republican Party controls the U.S. House of Representatives, while 17 percent think Democrats are still in charge.

Here it is folks. This is the reason we are in the mess we are in.

How would they know ? Such things are not taught anymore and depending upon the part of the country you are in have not been taught for a long time. Additionally such knowlege is not required for citizenship.
