两位签署宪法随后成为总统的是乔治·华盛顿和詹姆斯·麦迪逊。这就是你的答案，这就是你的大喊。
It was on this date - back in 1787 that 39 people plus a secretary signed the U.S. Constitution. What Constitution Day does is commemorate the event and the document that defined fundamental law in America. Ok, you knew that. But let`s see what else you know about the document in our official Student News Constitution Day quiz.
就在1787年的今天，由39人和一位秘书组成的团队共同签署了美国宪法。宪法纪念日就是纪念这一事件以及定义美国基本法的文件。好的，你知道了。加入我们官方学生新闻宪法纪念日测试，看看你是否还知道有关宪法的其它事情。
It`s Constitution Day. On this date in in 1787, 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document that today is the oldest written Constitution still used by any government. We are finding out how much you know about the U.S. constitution starting with some fun TRUE or FALSE questions.
今天是宪法日。在1787年的今天，39名参加宪法会议的代表签署了这一是最古老的书面文件，目前任何政府都在使用。就下列问题回答对还是错，看看你有多了解美国宪法。
All right. Number one - the word democracy appears in article 1 of the U.S Constitution. Answer - FALSE. The word democracy actually doesn`t appear anywhere in the document.
好的，第一个问题，美国宪法第一条出现了“民主”这个词。答案是错误的。实际上民主这个词没在宪法中出现过。
Next, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest person to sign the constitution. This is TRUE. He was 81 and in declining health. So he needed someone to sign it. It said, as he was signing it, tears were streaming down his face. Three - some delegates of the constitutional convention refused to sign the constitution. Answer - TRUE! Of the six delegates who did not sign, three of them Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to do so. Partly because the constitution did not have a bill of rights. Those amendments guaranteeing individual liberties were proposed two years later.
接下来，本杰明·富兰克林是签署宪法中年龄最大的。答案是正确的。富兰克林时年81岁，身体状况每况愈下。所以他需要别人来签署。据说，当他签署宪法时老泪纵横。第三个问题，一些会议代表拒绝签署宪法。答案是正确的。拒绝签署宪法的六人中，三人是埃德蒙·伦道夫、弗吉尼亚州的乔治梅森即马萨诸塞州的埃尔布里奇·格里。拒签的部分原因是宪法没有包含一项权利。这些保证个人自由的修正案于两年后提出。
Since the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, how many additional amendments have been added to the constitution? Is the answer, 7, 10, 12, or 17? If you said D- 17, you got it. That last amendment, the 27th says that a pay raise for members of Congress cannot take effect until after an election.
自1791年人权法案正式批准后，宪法还加入了多少次额外的修正案。答案是7、10、12还是17次。如果你说17次，那你正确了。最近的一次即第27次修正案中规定，国会人员直到大选后才能加薪。
Now, which branch of the U.S. Government is mentioned first in the Constitution? Is it the legislative, judicial or executive?. Answer: A. The Legislatives branch`s powers are laid out in article one of the constitution. This is the branch that includes the House of Representatives and the Senate and it`s charged with making the laws that govern the country.
现在，美国政府的哪个部门首次在宪法中被提及？是立法部、司法部还是行政部？答案是立法部门。立法部门的权利位于宪法的第一篇，包括众议院和参议院，负责制定管理国家的法律。
Finally, where can you find the original copy of the Constitution? Is it in Fort Knox Kentucky, The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian Institution or The National Archives? Answer D. The National Archives building in Washington D.C. To preserve the quality of the document it is kept at 67 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 percent humidity and you can say that fascinating fact constitutes our Constitution Day quiz.
最后，你可以在哪里找到宪法的原始副本？是肯塔基州诺克斯堡、国会图书馆、史密森学会还是国家档案馆？答案是D。国家档案馆建于华盛顿特区，其中的文件保存在67华氏度及百分之40的湿度下。宪法纪念日的测试包含了令人着迷的事实。
