I never took philosophy.

96.97% here. I wasn't alive during FDR.

Question: In 1935 and 1936 the Supreme Court declared that important
parts of the New Deal were unconstitutional. President Roosevelt
responded by threatening to:Your Answer: override the Supreme Court’s
decisions by gaining three-quarter majorities in both houses of
CongressCorrect Answer: appoint additional Supreme Court justices who
shared his views

Interesting one to miss. I thought everyone knew about FDR threatening
to pack the court.

Must be a generational thing. The Socrates thing tripped me up.

That's surprising, given that you were alive then? LOL sorry.

Socrates and Plato were before my time but Aquinas was in my modern
European History class in high school.
It was all about the how uncontrolled debt and ill thought out foreign
adventures caused the fall of the Romans. ;-)

The Republicans were in charge during Aquinas' time? Wow.

I missed that one, but should have gotten it. But do know Romans fell
from tax greed, currency failure and government fraud. Just like the
USA is doing now.

Seems obvious, but too many are blinded by the greed of debt and
promises of easy government money. Just greed. Moral decay.
