Jeez, when I was a kid, we had "Schoolhouse Rock" which taught us the American Civics basics. I can still remember the preamble to our constitution thanks to that song.

"We the people, in order to form a less perfect union, deny justice to insure domestic instability..... provide for those who take offence, enslave the poor with endless welfare and take away our security, for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution..... just to see you rip it up and make us... roll in our graves."

Or something like that.
