I'm surprised as a European that I knew all of those apart from the first and second amendment, I have an idea on them but wasn't sure which is which, the second amendment is the right to bear arms, heard that enough times on the news over the years, even in Europe lol, the first I'm not 100% sure but is it free speech?
Either way, this video was comedy but sad in a way, a lot of those question are quite basic that even many outside the US understand many of the things that are related to the US like the amendments and which countries are boarded with them.
You've got to put the blame on the education system and it's probably designed to be that bad because in politics, a less educated public is easier to manipulate and boy do Americans can screwed over in many social benefit areas from health care, workers rights, job support, food standards and countless other things, in a sense, the political system is doing a fine job on the American people, it's too bad the American people don't wake up and see that.
But seriously, I don't expect all Americans to know all the answers he threw at them but the first and second amendment with how the US system bangs the drum on them all the time, they really should know that, they also really should know Canada and Mexico are neighbouring countries, it's quite embarrassing really.
