About this quote

Freedom depends on people who can understand evidence, institutions, and the consequences of public choices.

When to use it

• Before the next class, read one primary civic source and discuss its practical meaning with another person.
• Use the same principle on one difficult subject: read one primary civic source and discuss its practical meaning with another person, then note what changed.
• Try it with a classmate or study group: read one primary civic source and discuss its practical meaning with another person, and compare the result at the end of the week.
