What are the tests that people have to take to gain US citizenship?

While people born in the US automatically have citizenship, my personal belief is that people should have to pass the citizenship tests to get the right to vote.

btw, I'm in Australia, and our voting is compulsory (or at least being enrolled and being crossed off as submitting a ballot paper, the vote itself is secret).

I think if we're going to set tests for citizenship for foreigners before they're allowed to become citizens, why shouldn't the same tests apply to locals?

There was such a standardized test when I was in high school, for what it's worth. And some states still have them, and some require a passing grade on them to graduate from high school.

Probably should be really. Kids should at least grow up knowing how things are supposed to work so they can fully appreciate how broken things are.
