1. Caracas, Venezuela
2. 1999
3. Among other things the changes would eliminate presidential term limits, create forms of communal property and give greater power to the presidency.

Hugo Chavez grabbing for power, and further proof that it's amazing that our constitution has lasted so long. The founding fathers sure knew what they were doing.

I got 1 point- Venezuela. I had an idea for number three but was completely lost on #2.

So I didn't know the answer the other day...but I read the paper yesterday and I know that he can't be reelected now...so technically I do know the answer today and I know the results...which means that I am the smartest!! Ha just kidding. I still didn't know number 2.
I am glad that it wasn't ammended.
Nice to see you blogging!

I'll take all the points...but only because I had just read an aconomist article on the very subject about 20 minutes before taking it, and was therefore able to remember that Hugo Chavez himself helped to write the constitution only a few years ago.

I bet Jane is wishing she had her economist back.
