You can never know too much. By the same token, the Talmud is only one of many avenues for broadening understanding. Personally, I think knowing more about the Founding Fathers and their differences in outlook and opinions would be the primary requirement for understanding the Constiutution and how it came to be. As it is, with the lack of knowlege, even knowing the basics of what is in the Constitution would be a giant leap forward. Holly,

Talmudic studies, like familiarity with the Bible, the Koran and other fonts of wisdom could boraden all our minds, but that the Talmud should be part of Understanding the Constituion or the other tenets of our republic is a stretch.
