"Understanding of the Constitution" has new meaning to me these days. If you understand and argue the Constitution, which version are you using? You certainly couldn't carry on an "intellectual" ballon popping argument on our Constitution vs. socialism based on the SCOTUS latest version. You are right about Western Wash and Canada however.

I use the 1787 version. Not the Revised Constitution of 1933. If I argued that Constitution, I'd lose.
