I wish he was still running the Nation.

I’m hoping the Texans said something along the lines of “State’s rights? Why, there’s no sucha thang.”

We had to learn it too. But I submit that most people don’t retain it even if they have to learn it, unless they have a special interest in it. If it’s not a good course, and it’s just dry stuff they have to memorize for the test, I think most people will forget.

For me one of the biggest surprises of huckster, flim-flam man and reality TV star DJT as President was how loyal he was to the Constitution and Federalism. I’ve apologized several times for having judged him so unfairly. He has his flaws, but I know of no other President since Reagan who adhered so closely to the Constitution limits placed on the Chief Executive.

(or maybe 7th? and 8th?). This was in the ’70s and I recently verified my memory with someone else who was in school in Illinois around the same time. I think the test was similar to what immigrants took to obtain citizenship. Kids who did not pass during the school year had to retake it in the summer.

The year of the test our Social Studies class focused on preparation and Federalism and enumerated Federal powers were part of the curriculum. The three branches of government and their purpose, as well as checks and balances between them and the States were drilled heavily. We memorized the Bill of Rights. We were taught election laws and how the Electoral College functioned.

When I lived in Texas I was told there was something similar in the curriculum there, and it included a big section on Texas state history. Whenever topics like states’ rights, Federalism or the U.S. founding come up I find Texans well versed in the fundamentals.
