This group is pretty right-wing, as evidenced by some of the things that they consider part of "civic literacy". I think it's a form of propaganda to mix historical facts like, "Which battle brought the American Revolution to an end?" with questions about political figures from the past like, "Who wrote there should be a “wall of separation” between church and state?" or purely philosophical matters like, "Which statement is a common argument against the claim that “man cannot know things”?" If I were going to pick some important philosophical and political arguments to be familiar with, my choices would be quite different from their choices. But I did get 56 right (and I suspect their last answer is wrong, US defense spending is more than Social Security, at least if you're honest about including defense costs like veterans benefits, nuclear weapons in DOE, etc.).
