My personal opinion is that ideally applying for citizenship should be something similar to getting your drivers license, tho somewhat, more difficult. I would hope the process would force people to become more politically literate and it would encourage a shared sense of social responsibility.

Who creates the citizenship test? And how do you prevent it from becoming a tool to disenfranchise people? "You got most of the questions right, but you answered 'no' on the question about Trumps divine right to be above the law. Citizenship denied."
I certainly understand those very real issues and concerns. I'd argue that at the very least the citizenship test we have now is something most Americans would benefit from taking. Despite the crazy political landscape, I suppose I'm somewhat of an optimist here as that measurement for citizenship has remained relatively untouched the past few presidencies. It's not perfect, but I like the idea and that is why we need to vote moral people into office who have people's interests at heart.

Quote:In the future,[i] Earth is governed by the United Citizen Federation, a stratocratic regime founded generations earlier by "veterans" after democracy and social scientists brought civilization to the brink of ruin. Citizenship is exclusively earned through federal service, which grants rights—like voting and procreation—that are withheld from ordinary civilians.
