Americans apparently know more about "The Simpsons" than they do about the First Amendment

Only one in four Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon family, according to a survey.

The study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22 percent of Americans could name all five Simpson family members, compared with just one in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms.

Joe Madeira, director of exhibitions at the museum, said he was surprised by the results.

"Part of the survey really shows there are misconceptions, and part of our mission is to clear up these misconceptions," said Madeira, whose museum will be dedicated to helping visitors understand the First Amendment when it opens in April.

The survey found more people could name the three "American Idol" judges than identify three First Amendment rights.

It also showed that people misidentified First Amendment rights. About one in five people thought the right to own a pet was protected, and 38 percent said they believed the right against self-incrimination contained in the Fifth Amendment was a First Amendment right, the survey found.

在美國(guó),《辛普森一家》的知名度顯然要高于美國(guó)憲法第一修正案。

根據(jù)一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示:就美國(guó)憲法第一修正案所授予的五項(xiàng)自由權(quán)利,能夠說(shuō)出其中至少兩項(xiàng)的美國(guó)人只有1/4,這五項(xiàng)權(quán)利包括言論自由、宗教信仰自由、出版自由、集會(huì)自由和向政府請(qǐng)?jiān)敢笊暝┑淖杂伞5?,一半以上的美?guó)人卻能列出至少兩名辛普森家庭卡通成員的名字。

新建的麥考密克論壇自由博物館是這項(xiàng)研究的負(fù)責(zé)機(jī)構(gòu),該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)有22%的美國(guó)人能夠說(shuō)出辛普森一家五口人的名字,而在一千個(gè)美國(guó)人中,只有一個(gè)人能把第一修正案里的五項(xiàng)自由權(quán)全部說(shuō)出來(lái)。

博物館的展館主任杰伊·馬德拉說(shuō),調(diào)查結(jié)果讓他大為吃驚。

馬德拉說(shuō):"部分調(diào)查結(jié)果確實(shí)顯示人們有些誤解,我們的任務(wù)之一就是要消除這些誤解。"到四月份開館時(shí),博物館將致力于幫助參觀者了解第一修正案。

調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn),更多人能說(shuō)出"美國(guó)偶像"電視節(jié)目三個(gè)評(píng)委的名字,而說(shuō)不出第一修正案中的三項(xiàng)權(quán)利。

調(diào)查同時(shí)顯示,人們對(duì)第一修正案中的權(quán)利有錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)識(shí),有1/5的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為養(yǎng)寵物的權(quán)利受到保護(hù),38%的人認(rèn)為第五修正案中反對(duì)"自證其罪"的權(quán)利應(yīng)是第一修正案中的內(nèi)容。
