Why am I so smart?

Hello:
 
Or, more correctly stated, how come you're so dumb?? 

Did you know the Constitution is only 7 pages long??  Did you know the Bill Of Rights is only 652 words?  Could you memorize 652 words???  I did it in my 5th grade civics class.  They ARE the rules of society, after all, and you can't win if you don't know the rules. 
 
Why did we STOP teaching civics?  I think it's cause you can't GOVERN an informed populace.  You can only RULE them.
 
Should we re-institute the teaching of civics?   What would happen if we did?

    Perhaps if more people were taught civics, we would have better candidates to run this country and a populace that would vote based on policy rather than party.
