I only got 1 Simpson and 4 freedoms (did not remember petitioning for redress). How did you do?
And the freedom of the press to report the "results" of surveys, without actually showing the form of the survey, or knowing how the "phone conversations" actually took place has never seemed to important to me. NLOL. Freedom poorly exercised.

TIG, I only got four freedoms as well (speech/expression, religion, petition, peaceful assembly), I suppose the fifth one that is mentioned in passing in the BBC article is the right to bear arms.
I have probably only seen the Simpsons four or five times (truth, though I wish I'd seen more). But I could get Bart, Homer, Marge (?), Lisa, Crusty the Clown... that's it, still one more than I did with the Constitution.
I did quite well in Civics in high schools, guess I've forgotten a lot.

If you gave me the list I would have gotten Bart. Only knew of Homer. Will take your word on the others.
Another survey which trivializes things by incomparability. Kind of like asking people to name the first 3 presidents and asking what happened in the first Simpsons cartoon, I guess.
Realistically, it does not matter which amendment in the Bill of Rights grants a particular freedom now, does it - unless you are on a game show, or presenting a case in a court room - really not even the latter, since the arguments would be backed in most cases by case law, not referencing the bill of rights explicitly.
But thanks for the amusing trivia. :)
Hope you win the lottery soon. Already ordered a new rope though.
HB brassy offsets would be nice. :)

I got three Simpsons and all 5 rights. But I had some misspent years in law school.
