What is the most important fact that you do not know about the United States Government or Constitution?

Question

What questions did you want to know about in high school or college but your american government teacher did not teach ir or you forgot to ask about it.

Answer 1

Individual freedom is the dream of our age. It's what our leaders promise to give us, it defines how we think of ourselves and, repeatedly, we have gone to war to impose freedom around the world. But if you step back and look at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.



Politicians promised to liberate us from the old dead hand of bureaucracy, but they have created an evermore controlling system of social management, driven by targets and numbers. Governments committed to freedom of choice have presided over a rise in inequality and a dramatic collapse in social mobility. And abroad, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the attempt to enforce freedom has led to bloody mayhem and the rise of an authoritarian anti-democratic Islamism. This, in turn, has helped inspire terrorist attacks in Britain. In response, the Government has dismantled long-standing laws designed to protect our freedom.

Answer 2

All of this is a waste of time and effort. The USA is going down and if something dramatic does not happen soon, it's lost forever. And sadly, I have NO CLUE what would work as these elitists have covered all the bases that I can see.

We're screwed. Time for acceptance, though I struggle with it.
