Ep. 159 Advanced US Citizenship Test Hel...

About this episode

If you plan on taking the US Citizenship Test soon, this video goes deep, goes pretty advanced into a couple topics that may show up on the USCIS. We go pretty deep here into the 14th Amendment. I explain the Brown vs. Board of Education, a landmark Supreme Court case. I explain Reconstruction after the Civil War. I talk about how the 14th Amendment may come into play when talking about the mandatory vaccines Rutger's University wants to require of their students for next year's classes.
