6. I know...
but after I read the birth control answer I remembered her. I thought the answer about her running for President along side Frederick Douglass sounded a little too "Hillary/Obama" to me so I chose that one.

2. I missed one.
The question asking "Which American lawmaker thought the Bill of Rights was unnecessary?"

I was unaware of the answer.

7. I missed 3. Woodhull, Judicial Review and the
Nixon quote. I thought that was a trick question. I don't recall Nixon saying that.
