Know Your Constitution Program

Know Your Constitution involves a multiple-choice quiz and short essay for students in grades 9-12 on the U.S. Constitution. Winning entries are selected from each of Iowa’s 100 legislative districts. Selected students and their teachers are invited to a special luncheon in January. Finalists will receive a certificate and medal and be entered into a drawing to win prizes including scholarships.
