Now you are getting into the good stuff!
It is an awkward compromise that we Americans have made, wanting to have a bottoms-up democracy… yet not wanting mob rule.
The idea of making, or remaking, the “body politic” is an integral element of education, at all levels. Thus it is natural that part of the fight, a big part, revolves around education.
Which is why your comment from long ago about civics education has stuck with me.
