It is rather vital that 'the people' participate in Democracy and government. Those who misunderstand fundamentals such as rights, the basis for government authority and the relationship between freedom and responsibility are likely to make faulty decisions in their voting and campaigning for office. They will run for election and advocate counter productive laws. As judges and jurors they base their opinions and decisions on mistakes and myths.
