11 states don’t require 1/2 yr study in US civics, history or govt. Sheer ignorance of millions of Americans of basic tenets of US Constitution helped lead us here. If you don’t learn the Bill of Rights as a child you don’t know as an adult to be horrified when it’s under assault

A year of world history should be required too.

Agreed. Now could you please explain to a huge number of people on your side the importance of the Electoral College and the Senate, and why most of the things they want just aren't allowed under our system of rights?

Illiteracy right here right now. aka ignorance.

Basics in constitutional law and legal reasoning should be taught in high schools. My niece went to an expensive private high school and not even a civics class. I was so pissed she didn't vote her first election because she was tired.

Even worse are the people who know all about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights but are deliberately working to tear them down.

Why the person with the most money to spend on commercials wins, why people have to be begged to vote, why people won't spend one stamp to mail their ballot, why people are too lazy to re-register if they miss a few elections, why people have no idea who represents them, etc. etc
