Before a Citizen can Vote…

It’s a shame this short lecture on the Creation of the US constitution isn’t required reading before one can Vote or Opinion on Politics and government in the Media..

Ought to be required reading/listening by every citizen and prospective citizen.

See above; enjoyed this refresher course on the Constitution. If this isn’t being taught in every school, why not??

Better than I thought it would be.

The material omitted, would be the extemporaneous material given in school, as described. You won't be missing anything with this presentation.
