American History · Colonial Period and Independence

Accepted answer(s)

  • "Father of the Constitution"
  • Fourth president of the United States

This question comes from the American History section of the 2025 Civics Test. USCIS includes it to confirm applicants know the founding events and figures behind U.S. citizenship, not just civics theory. The accepted answer, ""Father of the Constitution"", is worth memorizing exactly since dates and names are graded strictly in the interview.

This is question 88 of the 2025 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
