Only (4) is clearly constitutional.
Explanation: Article I, Section 10 expressly forbids states from coining money and from entering into treaties (so (2) and (3) are invalid), and it restricts states from keeping troops or engaging in war except in narrowly defined circumstances (so creating an independent state military to fight a foreign power would conflict with federal war powers) . Education policy is generally a state power reserved by the Tenth Amendment, so requiring public school students to learn about the causes of the war is permissible.
