Its like anything else. If you don’t have it then you drive toward zero on chance of people getting it. Its more about the opportunity to not be shit than decision to be shit. I completely get where you are coming from. I had not thought about the history and structure of the constitution I was taught in school but when I saw it violated it immediately drew alarm bells and reading through I could recall converstaions and ideas that were taught (really explained given the source document is easily obtainable). It blows my mind that anyone educated in america does not see whats happening. I mean maybe my education was better than most or something but I mean I believe a lot of the content was state mandated to be taught. Despite that I think its better to require things that are needed rather than hope people are exposed to it.
It does not take a constitutional scholar to understand due process and illegal search and seizure. Especially when its being blatantly done across the country. One of the things I realized as todays reality had me looking over the bill of rights on a regular basis is I sorta now think they may have been ordered most controversial to least. ie you see a lot of argument around what exactly is free speech but not so much on rights being limited to only whats spelled out in the constitution or that if a power is not specified for the federal government its reserved for people and the states.

the vast majority of ‘educated’ people in America know shit about the constitution, and most of those that do probably know wrong things.
the only people who really know much about the constitution are constitutional scholars. and even they deeply disagree about various aspects of it.
