Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States for the Use of Schools- 1828
For over one hundred years this book, Stansbury’s Catechism, was the method used to teach America’s youth to know and understand their Constitution. Contains the original text from 1828.
The UPDATED HARD COVER Elementray Catechism Since it was published in 1828, 15 amendments have been added to the Constitution, so the modern editors have therefore updated a few answers as necessary. Updated by WallBuilders.

Homework
Homework assignments can be submitted here. Please put “homework” as the first word of the message.
Read either the Constitution or the Constitution Made Easy (in the back of your digital or printed workbook). This week we will read Articles 4-7 and The Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10). In the Constitution Made Easy, that is pages 31-43. There is a free downloadable copy of the Constitution. You can find the Constitution here: Patriot’s Hope Historical Documents Library
Alternate Assignment (in case you have done the above assignment lately)
Get three pieces of paper. Label them with Legislative (Congress), Executive (President), and Judicial (Supreme Court)- one label per page. Now, read the same section of the Constitution as the above assignment. List EVERY thing each jurisdiction can or cannot do. Keep those pages as you will use them for future assignments as well.
Same assignment- different option. Grab your copy of the Constitution and highlight what it says about each branch of government in a different color. For example, label Legislative in yellow, Executive in red, and Judicial in blue.
