US Government Quizzes & Trivia

The US Government has a huge responsibility on its shoulders. It not only has to organize and administrate the greatest and most diverse country on the planet, it also has to take on the role as leaders and peace keepers in the free world. That's a huge responsibility, and everyone plays their part.
