First
been waiting for this video.
Don’t feel too bad about failing our citizenship test.
Not many of us local born know ourselves.
Luka... you may want to remove this. I understand you're not from the US, but this makes your short term memory quite apparent. And celebrating a guess is not the best sign of understanding.
I just wanna pont out that u said i want to get 60 and since i just took this test in school i know all u need is 60 to pass
Luka: "what does the right to bear arms even mean"
The american south: "IM GLAD YOU ASKED!!!!"
Every American has the right to a pair of bear arms.
Well isn’t that the sum of the whole debate? 🤣
😂😂😂
The right to keep and bear arms means the right to own and carry a gun. Pistols and rifles.
That triggered me so hard, I was like "dude! This the nigga out here voting Democrat!" 😂😂
Luka: Lives in an island nation
Also Luka: “I don’t know my oceans...”
@Meth Breakfast yo what the hell?
@Meth Breakfast What is wrong with you? Seems like no one taught you compassion. Not everyone knows everything, he's not from the USA either. No need to be rude.
@Meth Breakfast Yeah man, chill out a little. I was making a joke because it was ironic, not trying to single him out as dumb. There are plenty of Americans that have less geographical knowledge about their own country, not to mention he did well on those citizenship tests for someone not trying to immigrate here.
@Meth Breakfast lmao
@Meth Breakfast Ayo chill man that shits outta pocket😭💀
5:12 Thanks for the shoutout. Big fan!
Who lived in the Americas before the British arrived -- Dinosaurs... well that probably ain't wrong
I noticed that too lol. I used to have quite the fossil collection that I found myself before I donated them. There were for sure dinosaurs in the US lol.
The ancient aliens theorists probably would've chosen Martians.
Euthycarcinoids felt left out
The Italian Amerigo Vespucci discovered America first. (Obviously) Then the Spanish colonized us THEN the British.
21:20
Halloween is a holiday and is hugely popular, but it’s not a FEDERAL holiday, meaning no one usually gets time off school or work for Valentine’s Day or Halloween
This year we at least get Valentine's Day on Sunday, and President's Day off on Monday. 😇
@@NateOlson sadly, not all businesses get presidents day off. I work for a state University and presidents day is not a day we get off even though we are a federal institution.
@@spiderdude2099 Yes, I'm aware. I think that should change.
And the banks stay open
@@NateOlson People who work on weekends don’t have Valentines Day off
“Who is the Chief Justice...”
“Judge Reinhold. isn’t he that judge guy who has that tv show?!”
*clicks it*
He actually plays himself as a tv judge on Arrested Development.
😂 He got me there lol
Honestly, I'm surprised the Supreme Court isn't a tv show. We turn everything else into one. Weight loss, popping zits, locking a dozen people in a house and watch them turn each other crazy, and yes, even an actual courtroom!
Judge Reinhold is neither a real judge nor has he received acting's highest honor.
Judge Reinhold is the name of an actor. I remember him best from the movie "Ruthless People" (1986), starring Danny Devito.
😂😂 when you got the “who wrote the declaration?” One right in the first test but wrong in the second
It’s right not write my dude.
*right
write is the wrong right you meant to write right, right?
Wow my autocorrect did me dirty, thanks for the corrections 😂
You're killing me. "I don't know this answer" when you just saw it the first quiz. "I don't know when this quiz was made" 2 more times after the first time which proved it was current. Lmao
When you do a real US citizenship test to become a citizen, they usually give you a guide that you study before you take it. Luka didn't do bad at all for someone who had no study guide and went into this blind so to speak.
13:35
“What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?”
Luka: Ten Commandments
Moses: “Am I a joke to you?”
LOL I died when he picked that one 🤣
I can't stop laughing!
Fun fact: most presidents do not write their own speeches, they have speechwriters, but do give input.
Nixon is a famous example of this, with his mannerisms and way of speech not corresponding with his speeches.
Because they're all puppets and big 👃own them
Obama is one of the exceptions.
What presidents DID write their own speeches?
"Agree with everything the President, Congress, and Supreme Court says or does."
...BRUH
Honestly 😬😳
It's weird seeing that considering our country is all about individual beliefs
This isn’t communist America 😂
@@HannahUmm nah free country
@@Kaiden-9226 Yeah duh 🙄 I was saying "honestly" about him saying "bruh" In obvious disagreement with the statement "agree with everything the president etc. Says" It was a question in the video and he selected do whatever the president says. 🙄
This guy:
“I don’t even know what bear arms means.” Then why would you pick it?
And it means the right to own firearms
Brits
I like "the right to arm bears".
the right to carry actually, and not just guns. The ownership is assumed ;)
Tank tops.
@@whenthedustfallsaway No it says “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The meaning of this sentence is not self-evident, and has given rise to much commentary but relatively few Supreme Court decisions. The Court ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution confers an individuals right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense.
_What happened at the Constitutional Convention?_
_The Founding Fathers agreed that 'What happens in Philadelphia, stays in Philadelphia.'_
LOL.
Trivia: "My Country Tis of Thee" is sung to the same tune as "God save the Queen"
I am stunned that I never knew this before
Question is do you know the second verse of "My Country Tis of Thee?"
I know there's a second verse, I just don't know it.
@@mike954 I used to know all 4 verses of the song but they all blend together now lol
Or maybe it was 3 verses.. idk anymore

@@shavansky3393 O'ER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHED, WERE SO GALLANTLY STREAMING
the quality of the editing has improved, good job :)
yeah! he has an editor for non reaction videos i think
because he has an editor for special videos like this
He did mention hiring an editor at some point
I was thinking the same thing
"Agree to never divulge the secret US citizen handshake." LOL. That's hilarious.
It's true actually. We can't ever tell foreigners about our super cool handshake. :P
Shhh! You don’t talk about fight club and you don’t talk about the hand shake! 😜 LOL
@@bulldawggirl2168 Well damn it now you went and mentioned Fight Club.
How many of you think it would be really cool if we had one?
There are two chambers to our federal legislative branch: House of Representatives and the Senate. House of Reps is dependent on population of the state, represent specific districts, and has a term length of 2 years. There are 2 members of the senate for each state and have a term length of 6 years.
This is good stuff to remember for anyone who wants to know about the US government or plans to take one of these quizzes. Congress is bicameral, just like the British Parliament with its House of Lords and House of Commons. The House gives representation by population, while the Senate gives equal representation per state. The reason for this is the more populated of the original colonies felt they should have more representation, while the less populated ones felt they should have an equal say. (Remember that the United States started off as a confederacy of states, like the European Union.)
In order to become a law, a bill has to pass a majority vote in both chambers. Then, either the President signs off on it, or vetoes it and it has to go back to Congress and receive a 2/3 (supermajority) vote. The President is the most powerful individual in the nation, but Congress as a whole is more powerful.
I'm starting to sound like a School House Rock now, so I'll stop.
@@chitlitlah I loved school house rock!
He picked parliament for one of them 🤦🏻♂️
@@chitlitlah The make-up of the Senate is more about preserving local power than about equitable distribution of power. It provides wildly disproportionate power to sparsely populated states. Originally, this was so landowners heavily reliant on slave labor could perpetuate slavery. The House of Lords reflects the same kind of Devil’s compromise between republicanism (representative democracy) and preservation of elite power.
@@vincegay986 This is not as true as it was at the founding as the 17th ammendment shifted a senator from being a state legislature representative, purely beholden to their state government to possibly be recalled at any time as well, into a 2 party system national conglomerate, which is why american politics is ever more divisive, more issues get solved in DC day by day than anywhere else. In a country of 330 million people where half disagree on anything, outsourcing all problems to one city for solutions creates frustration.
Makes sense that a Brit would confuse the American Revolution for a Civil War.
To be fair, their were American colonists fighting each other, as much as they were the British. Things got pretty ugly between Patriot and Tory (loyalist) factions.
The United States has no national Religion so it would not be Easter, whoever we do have Christmas as national federal holiday so that may have confused him.
Christmas became a lot more secular, Easter is still largely Christian
Easter is on Sunday, so there's no need for a federal holiday
@@sailorgallifrey1365 Yes. American Christmas was mainly a capitalization of Coca-Cola company on southern Christmas. Prior to that, Christmas was an obscure holiday in the Americas (and illegal in many of the colonies).
thing is, I don't think he was processing the part about "federal" holidays. Like, what the difference between federal and religious is, etc.
and Halloween is a holiday, just not a National (Federal) holiday.
"Bear arms" means carry and own a gun to protect yourself to create a well-armed militia.
Shhh...”a well-armed militia” automatically makes you a white supremacist today.
@@emanymton713 Kinda stupid it does considering gun restriction laws were aimed at black people and minorities to disarm them, if anything minorities should be for defending the 2nd amendment
It's supposed to be a well-regulated militia, not necessarily a well-armed one.
@@InsaneamI At the time it was written, "well regulated" was the normal way of saying "in proper working order" or "functional". A militia without ready access to functional and effective weapons would not have met the definition of "well regulated" during the writing of the Constitution.
It's a "well-regulated militia"...and the term militia meant the entire body of (then male) citizens capable of using arms.
And yes, these days "militia" is a problematic word.
Every time he says "c'mon baby" I feel like he's flirting with me 😆
Simp
*clicks tongue* Come on, baby 😉
We should be so lucky. Is he on onlyfans?
It hurt me when you got the same questions wrong in the second test that you got right the first time around.
Most American's couldn't pass this test... and most of my neighbors wouldn't even understand half of the words... :D
That's facts! Lol
Honestly, most of these were pretty basic questions that Americans learn about as young as 5, so, for me, they were pretty easy to answer, and I feel like the same could be said for a lot of other Americans. Maybe it depends where you were raised. What state are you from?
I would hope not man. The questions weren't even that hard it's basic Knowledge that an american should have. Yet we have a lot of dumb dumbs here so I wouldn't be surprised neither
And many Americans want to have “pure democracy”, what a joke. Theres a reason the 12th amendment and state legislatures exist
These were pretty easy questions. There mostly taught back in grade and middle school though but Missing the national Anthem twice???!
I laughed so fucking hard when you were trying to decide between Libertarianism and Communism and then the right answer wasn’t either of them
“...oh, fuCK”
No the majority of Presidential speeches were not written by the president themselves.
Ngl i wish our anthem was Battle Hymn of the Republic. Good ass song
I agree. That song kicks ass and it's not hard to sing.
I like that one. I do like Star Spangled Banner but yes, it is hard to sing.
Wasn't our anthem a drunks song?
Except that it has two problematic words in the title (Battle and Hymn), and in the text, one espousing violence and the other, religion, which is kept in its rightful place by not mixing government and religion. "Glory of the coming of the Lord?" In our national anthem? "Hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword". Really? You may like the song---but I can't imagine that it would be appropriate as a NATIONAL anthem.
@@robertsoslow733 well considering that the religion most practiced in the US is Christianity no matter what religion I still believe it’s appropriate.
"What stops one branch from becoming too powerful?"
"The United Nations may intervene."
LOL.
The 3 branch system was a genius invention given the time. Hard to believe it was conceived back then
Implying that the UN means anything in America. I couldn't tell you with any degree of certainty what countries are involved in that organization aside from China. I know China gives them money, that's it.
@@trajectoryunown whether we like it or not, the U.N. is vital to U.S. relations with the world.
Rather a sure way to piss off most Americans. Bring in foreign troops to 'control' us.
@@kuramacon Eh. That's a debate.
Thurston, please, please, never say "Come on baby" and Nancy Pelosi in the same sentence ever again!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually they meant to say “the right to arm bears”
@J M Yes, because it's a given.😜
This is like when you take a test and study 2 days before
More like 2 hours before
Remembers when he reacted to oversimplified's series on the american revolution
“What does it mean to bear arms” most British thing I’ve ever heard 😂
Honestly, for someone who isn’t American, you did well. I can say with confidence you probably did better than a lot of Americans would lol
Yep my thoughts exactly
Not close... Any American would have beat him. I mean he didn't even know the anthem.
Edit: and he thought America had a parliament... So yeah
thats just not true (the first part was true)
@@isd4154 I think you are underestimating the amount of dumb ass people we have in this country. We elected a reality TV show star to be our president for four years lmao
@@weatherman7467 lol true
You were very quick to turn away any reactions to 9/11 when that question came up. That day runs so deep in our hearts and souls that it would almost be an honor to see your reaction to some 9/11 videos. Not necessarily random phone footage or whatever, but a short documentary on it. I think it would be a very somber yet respectful reaction.
I don't blame him for not wanting to subject himself to it. I know that actually found myself choking up every time I saw an American flag for months after it happened. I live in Texas, so those flags are everywhere here!
If he wants to, there’s a documentary called 10 years later and it focuses on two brothers who were the only ppl to get footage of the first plane and were in the buildings when they fell but they survived with the footage. It’s a really good documentary
That would make for some very depressing content and I think he's smart to stay away from it. If he wants to check it out in his own time, cool, but from a business perspective, I think it's too heavy.
He should check out the ones that have people calling from their cell phones minutes before they died.
“When was this made?”
(Clicks Mike Pence)
Kamala Harris is the correct answer
... later ...
“When was this made??”
Seriously?
Well, you say "Oh Sh*t" like a real American so you're in.
Saying slavery was not a reason for the Civil War is common rhetoric among former confederate states, but some of them cited racial supremacy and the right to own slaves in their declarations of secession so at least for those it was absolutely a reason.
You probably heard that it wasn't from someone with... let's call it an agenda.
Truth!
Also, those confederate states only seceded once it became clear that a president had just been elected who's administration would restrict the expansion of slavery.
The new rhetoric is "the civil war was about state rights!" And I just say 'ya, the states right to own slaves.' Lol!
If I remember correctly, all except one declaration of secession mentioned defending slavery. It wasn't the only reason they mentioned, but it was very much the primary reason. They believed that their way of life was dependent on slavery.
@@allengilbert7463 And there's no excuse for the revisionists to not know this since it's trivially easy to find out. They can find the full texts of the various states' "Declaration of Causes of Secession" with a quick Google search.
This is the most important wrong answer to learn.
Don’t feel bad, I’m American and I would have missed a bunch of these
Side note: “Aztec” were a small people within the larger “Mexica” (pronounced meh-hee-kah) indigenous culture. They’re the ones with the pyramids in what is now Mexico (see where the name comes from?) who performed human sacrifice as a wide scale religious ritual.
They also invented guacamole and chocolate, so pretty great on that front.
I like how the videos are just chill. No crazy editing, no crazy intro, just chill videos you can watch on a regular evening
So good to know that I would easily pass the test, if I had to take it. 💯😂✌
Luka...the question was what right is guaranteed ONLY for US citizens...it could only be voting. I think you are possibly trying to answer a bit too fast LOL
There was a time limit so he was under pressure.
@@calicoathena That question was in the first quiz...the one that was not timed. ✌
(edit) LOL turns out it was in BOTH quizzes 😂😂😂
I thought freedom was speech was the answer because we are the only country in the world to have the constitutional right to free speech.
@@Plane. Freedom of speech applies to everyone in the USA, not just citizens. Voting in federal elections and being elected to federal office are the rights that are reserved only for citizens ✌
@@iKvetch558 oh ok that makes alot of sense.
I got 100% on the Buzzfeed one, but I helped my old babysitter who was a legal resident from Mexico study for her U.S. citizenship test. She passed and we voted for the first time together. She’s an amazing person!
Lucas: advice: read more slowly.
he was up against the clock
I haven’t studied anything about US government in years but I knew every single question both quiz. I was hoping there would be some that I didn’t know but I guess they are basically things all citizens should know.
I’m actually pretty impressed by your test results. The only one I was really surprised you didn’t know was the name of the national anthem...regardless, you’ve come a long way in this journey learning about America!
I like how he got Jefferson right the first time but wrong the second time. Also, we don't have any parliament and never make the mistake about slavery again, not saying the war was about slavery is being a lost causer which is terrible the war was about slavery and dont let anyone deceive you. Its dangerous.
But the war was about States Rights and Economic concerns... which all actually tied back to slavery when you examine them, but ignore that!
@@DocMadfoxIf it all ties back to slavery, than doesnt that mean it was fought over slavery? Sates rights yes, to own slaves. Economic concerns, on how slavery was an outdated, useless and cruel economy. Also, saying that gives lost causers more of a hold on forgeiners who can be deceived. We can't let them be deceived. We need to tell the truth, the one and only truth.
@@chesterparish3794 Yes, that was the joke on how out of touch lost causers are. I actually removed the /s because I didn't think anyone would take it as a serious argument.
@@DocMadfox Ah I see.
The right to bear arms is owning firearms
And you can overthrow tyrannical government
While obsolete,I suspect this amendment would apply to other kinds of arms. I don’t recall that it specifies firearms. So your swords and spears are probably also protected.
@@KarmasAB123 luckily we are nowhere near having a tyrannical government

Those video edits at the beginning caught me by surprise! Takes time but the end result is great. Can't wait to keep watching your channel grow!

These two branches make up the Congress :)

You should react to "How Are British English and American English Different?" by Langfocus
My thing is that the Brits have wasted untold millions in wasted ink and paper over the last 1000 years by using superfluous letters like "u" in words like COLOR and FAVOR, etc. (they spell them colour and favour). BTW, Canadians, Aussies and Kiwi's make the same mistake.

I have a suggestion for a follow up video. Take a British citizenship test.
It'd be fun to see how you do in comparision.
It's the left who don't know what it means. They think that a lot of Euro countries are socialist even though places like Denmark are moving further and further away from socialist policies. For example, Denmark keeps cutting its taxes. That's not very socialist. So shut up.
It's the left who doesn't know what socialism is. You have an idea/fantasy of what you would LIKE it to be. The right understands what it is from history and facts, you just ignore it and say it's something new...

Halloween is big here but it’s not recognized as an official holiday
You did pretty well but didn’t seem to know how our government works. Maybe you could react to that next?
"What does it mean to bear arms?" It means to hold a firearm. We have the right "to keep and bear arms". The right to keep, means that we have the right to own a firearm. The right to bear, means we have the right to physically hold a firearm and to transport them. Though quite a few Cities/States now completely ignore the Constitution and since they have the judges in their back pockets, they get away with it.
Looking forward to the day when Texas secedes
I really think if you have taken your time to think some of these out in the first test you would have done better. theres no time limit bro, you dont need to fly through it like its a speedrun any%
You did amazing! I didn't even know some of them and I'm really into politics and history. I bet you did better than 70% of Americans, I've seen videos of elementary school teachers that couldn't name 1776 as our founding year and even thought we gained our independence from America! Teachers! And I bet you did better than 90% of Americans would do when asked about the UK. Great job!
Luka got the question “Who wrote the Declaration of Independence” correct the first time and then wrong the second time lmao
Hey man,
Nice to see you play a Sporcle quiz. If it's one that has been published (i.e. one where the text "Quiz not verified by Sporcle" doesn't appear at the top), then it should be updated quite rapidly any time someone changes office. Many non-published ones also get quickly updated by their creators.
There's a whole culture there of obsessive updating.
The right to bear arms means the right to own and fire guns.
Not just guns; but, also swords and any other weapon of a soldier.
You did a great job!! You got some right that I didn’t and some of those are hard and we only learn in government class. Keep the videos up!
I love the added effects in this video. Too funny!
