Official answers (English)

  • (U.S.) Constitution
  • Constitution

The real civics test is oral, and most applicants answer in English — so official questions and answers always stay in English here. Applicants who qualify for the 65/20 special consideration may take the civics test in the language of their choice with an interpreter.

Explanation

English

The U.S. Constitution is the highest law in the country. No other law or government action can go against it.

Türkçe

ABD Anayasası ülkedeki en yüksek yasadır. Başka hiçbir yasa veya hükümet eylemi ona aykırı olamaz.

Español

La Constitución de EE. UU. es la ley más alta del país. Ninguna otra ley ni acción del gobierno puede contradecirla.

Memory hint

💡 EN: 'Supreme' = the top. The Constitution sits above all other U.S. law.

💡 TR: ‘Supreme/üstün’ = en tepe. Anayasa diğer tüm ABD yasalarının üstündedir.

💡 ES: 'Suprema' = la cima. La Constitución está por encima de todas las leyes.
