Tim.

Tim,

1. Can't remember

2. Benjamin Franklin

3. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson

4. Don't know

5. 56

6. Don't know the exact name, but I believe it was the Commonwealth of Virginia declaration.

How'd I do? All of this was "off the top of my head" - I resisted the urge to look it up. Besides, my kids are 16, 14, & 12. I want them to know what the document says & "earn" the right not to have me wake them up really early - so I don't want it to be too hard.
