Survey Reveals Alarming Civic Illiteracy Among US College Students

New findings show significant gaps in basic knowledge of American history and government among undergraduates.

Only 31% of students identified James Madison as the Father of the Constitution.
A mere 27% recognized Kamala Harris as the president of the Senate.
60% of participants did not know the term lengths for U.S. Congress members.
Less than a third knew impeachment trials are held in the Senate.
Private schools outperform public institutions in promoting civic knowledge.
