3) The Constitution of the United States established what form of government?
A. Direct democracy
B. Populism
C. Indirect democracy
D. Oligarchy
E. Aristocracy

The quiz does not even have the correct answer in the choices. The Constitution of the United States explicitly established a REPUBLICAN form of government. I assume the “correct” answer to the “C. Indirect democracy” from the quizmaster’s perspective.

This, in turn, depends on your definition of "republican". Our republicanism is significantly different from the republicanism of, say, the Roman Republic, or even the republics in Europe during the Middle Ages (Novgorod, Dutch, Venice, etc.).

IMO, "Indirect democracy" is a reasonable-enough description of republican government, since in republican government, the power of the citizens is exercised indirectly through elected representatives.

I did the same thing, my wife was looking over my shoulder and I told her that the correct answer was not given but they obviously though that c was correct.

I thought the same thing. Particularly on that question. I scored high partly because I was making the correct assumption about what they meant in some poorly worded answers.
