Can You Name Our First Four Presidents?

Before peeking below, can you name the above presidents?

The U.S. Constitution went into effect on March 4, 1789. Do you know who the first four United States Presidents were under the new constitution?

A 2010 survey found that more than 25% of Americans didn’t know that we had gained our independence from Britain. China, Japan and France were all given as incorrect answers.

The results were even worse in a study by the U.S. Mint, which found that only 7% percent of Americans could name the first four U.S. Presidents. Here they are in order:
George Washington
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison

Did you know who they were?

I'll be honest. I wasn't sure about Madison.
