I really like these quizzes. I'm learning a lot of history that they don't teach in American public schools.

How did 15% fewer people get the US Constitution than they did the Bill of Rights, especially given the hints?!

Because not everyone on this page is US-American and thus does not care about US-American history

Possible reasons:

-easier to remember and spell "Rights" than "Constitution"

-you tend to see "Bill of Rights" referred to in full than "United States Constitution"; usually just "the constitution" or something like that is used I believe

-easier to guess "Rights" than "Constitution"
