Originally published in 1828 by Arthur J. Stansbury, this popular book quickly became an educational cornerstone for studying the US Constitution. For over a century it was central to learning about how America’s government worked and could be found everywhere—millions of copies were distributed to classrooms, churches, colleges, and military institutions, including soldiers on the Civil War battlefield. It enlightened minds and fostered a deep understanding and appreciation of the principles that form the foundation of the United States.

The Catechism uses a question-answer format with 333 questions-and-answers that invite readers to test their understanding and memory. Explore its pages to gauge your own knowledge about our Constitution. This edition of A Catechism on the US Constitution Made Easier offers several helpful features:

• Each question has a unique number for easy reference and discussion. • A detailed table of contents guides readers to sections with concentrated coverage of key subjects.
• Larger text size is easier on the eyes.
• Ideal as an introduction to The Federalist Papers.
• Bonus: An ingenious acronym-based memory tool for recalling the names of all seven Articles of the Constitution.
• Includes a complete copy of the US Constitution.

Read it once for discovery. Read it twice for retention. And read it once more to test your recall. It’s a quick and delightful study for all Americans of all ages.
