Another reason why a 9th grade course solely on The Federalist Papers should be required of every single citizen who expects to vote someday. We should expect voters to understand the Constitution and our system before they can exercise that privilege. Even more disgusting that public officials clearly have no idea whatsoever about the meaning or history of our Constitution.

So long as its preceded by an 8th Grade course on the Anti-federalist Papers.

It’s a real shame that the Federalist Papers weren’t somehow officially incorporated into the Constitution.

Because they are not “law”, they are often ignored.

I was just about to say the exact same thing. It should be an obsolete requirement to study them... one hour class, every year of high school. Of course leftists want them burned and buried

Include the Anti-Federalist papers in the curriculum as well.
