I was given kids' histories and civics books when I was little, and then got interested on my own. I took a government and civics class in high school, but by then I had already read the constitution, the declaration of independence, the great political speeches of American history, and some of the classic histories of the U.S. I did a lot of reading on my own-- still do-- and I did take a couple of classes in American political history and constitutional law and so forth when I was in college.
Schoolhouse Rock did help, though...taught me the Preamble by heart....
