Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States for the Use of Schools- 1828
Paperback reprint of the original version.
REVISED hardback version This work was originally published in 1828 as Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States for the Use of Schools by Arthur Stansbury. Since it was published, 15 amendments have been added to the Constitution, so the modern editors have therefore updated a few answers as necessary.
Original Intent by David Barton
Original Intent Is original intent important? It’s paramount. This book combines hundreds of quotes from primary sources with the authors exposition on hot topics such as revisionism, judicial activism, and separation of church and state. A substantial appendix encompasses full texts of the founding documents, biographical sketches of numerous Founders, and extensive reference notes.
