The Annenberg Public Policy Center’s 2022 annual survey that measures civic knowledge found that fewer than half of adults in the United States can name all three branches of government. Only 20% accurately name freedom of the press and only 24% identify religious freedom as protections provided by the First Amendment. Over half incorrectly believe that the First Amendment means that Facebook must allow people to freely express themselves on its website.
