Most Americans were taught the Constitution as a list of rules, rights, and institutions. Very few were taught how the system is actually organized, or what responsibilities it quietly places on us.
As a result, we have absorbed some habits that feel natural but are constitutionally backwards:
We look to courts to fix constitutional problems
We treat “legal” as if it meant “lawful”
We assume severity is what matters most
We forget that the Constitution was written by the People, not for professionals
This series is a civic refresher—not for lawyers, but for citizens.
Each short post corrects one common misunderstanding and explains how the Constitution actually works, using plain language and historical grounding. No jargon. No partisanship. Just structure.
If we want self-government to survive, We the People need to remember how it was designed to function.
