Particualrly directed at those younger than me:
Do they teach Constitutional Civics in school anymore? When I was in High Scool in the seventies, they wouldn't let you graduate until you had taken and passed a "Constitution Test" I seem to remember having to pass an easier version in 8th grade as well. Did they discontinue that practice? If so, when?
If that's the case, then perhaps one of the more lasting and important contributions we could make to our Country is at the local level, encouraging our school boards to add this rather important subject BACK into our curriculums.
