AMERICANS know more about TV show The Simpsons than they do about a key part of the US Constitution upholding their freedoms, according to a survey.

Only a quarter of those surveyed could list more than one of the five rights guaranteed by the First Amendment and just one in 1,000 knew them all.

A fifth of those surveyed by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum in Chicago thought the right to own a pet was included too.
