I have regrettably observed that many modern Americans know almost nothing about the Constitution, or about American history, or about the Source and nature of law.Advertisement - story continues belowIt seems the culprits responsible for this shameful situation include at least the public schools, the "managed media," career politicians, cowardly pastors and a lazy citizenry.There is a virus.
