It's not complicated. First, look at the date of publication, 2022. That tells you right away that it isn't worth reading. Then ask, knowledgeable about what? Of course being knowledgeable about politics is useless. One needs to be knowledgeable about life. And this is what the voting requirements of early America tested for. Only men with property and without debt should be allowed to vote. That proves a basic understanding of life. Quite simple really, but all good ideas from the past have been forgotten.
