"According to a recent survey by the National Constitution Center of 600 students, 58 percent know that Bill Gates is the father of Microsoft, but only 2 percent know that James Madison is the father of the Constitution. About 64 percent of respondents know that “The Club” protects against car theft, but just 25 percent understand that the Fifth Amendment offers the right to a grand jury trial. A whopping 59 percent can name the Three Stooges, while 41 percent can name the three branches of government."
