Are you saying that you would be comfortable having US citizens solely rely on others to interpret and explain the Constitution to them? You don't want them to have the ability to read and understand it themselves? Who would those people explaining the Constitution to everyone else be?
In all of your comments on this thread you seem to be arguing that having a seventh grade + reading level serves no purpose. Do you see any value in having a higher than sixth grade reading level as an American citizen?
I don't want everybody working off their own interpretation of what the constitution says, no. This is the same argument as people who are anti-vax because people should "do their own research" rather than trusting experts.

Good thing there are a wealth of articles explaining in detail exactly what every single line of the constitution means.
