I agree trivia may not be of much use - I still think I'd like to see a
"politician's test" when it comes to understanding the founding of this
country - some of the civics trivia will be told to them, or they'd look it
up when it became important. ;)

Although, I suspect it would get mired, like everything else, in
partisanship, as to what was made most important, versus what was played
down.

As for citizens, it's interesting that if you ended up here by an accident
of birth, you can get away with total ignorance.
