My highschool honors economics and government class - heavy on the capitalism and huge on the Constitution. This was reinforced by several political science courses with required readings of Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Paine, and the like.
Edited to add:
One other "intellectually" shaping moment came at a Ronald Reagan reelection rally in Sacramento in 1984. Truly an inspiring man and speaker.
