When in was in grade school and high school they had classes in ‘civics’. You know – how US federal, state, and local government works, why there is such a thing as the electoral college, and why we are not a ‘democracy’, but rather a federal republic – and why that is so much more equitable than a pure democracy.

If you answered on a test that Judiciary Branch makes the laws, you would fail the class.

People used to understand little details like that, but not so much anymore.
