By 1839 this book was the standard textbook for learning the Constitution in American classrooms.*

Written as a "catechism" in question and answer format, this new larger edition is complete with notes and excerpts from Madison's Notes on the Constitutional Convention.

The Catechism was first used in the early 1800's for school children but should be required reading in every school today.

It is an excellent way to re-acquaint yourself with the nature and benefit of strict constitutional government. Those who are discovering their true heritage for the first time have asked for such material to begin their own studies. Original Features: Stansbury's original 1828 text of 100 pages with Introduction.

On MARCH 25, 1835, Andrew Jackson wrote in a letter:

"I was brought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always adhered. Our excellent Constitution guarantees to every one freedom of religion, and charity tells us (and you know Charity is the real basis of all true religion)...judge the tree by its fruit.

According to the Muckraker report dated March 22, 2008:
If I received a $50 American Gold Eagle (legal tender) as a wage, would I need to claim $50 on my tax return or the market value? Today, the $50 American Gold Eagle was selling for approximately $980.00.

The IRS wrote:

You will only be reporting your wages of $50. The American Gold Eagle is now your capital asset (collectible), and any gain or loss on the coin will not be reported as income or loss until you dispose of the coin.


In essence, the question becomes, when is a dollar a dollar?

A more fundamental question might be: What is money? And who gets to make it?

The dollar is the Constitutional Guarantee of the Value of our Money and Wealth!
Article I Section 8, Clause 5: [The Congress shall have Power] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Article I Section 9, Clause 1: ... a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

Amendment VII: In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
When asked what his greatest accomplishment had been during his two terms as President, Andrew Jackson replied "I killed the Bank." He was talking about the "Second Bank of the United States", which was our country's second central bank.

Six months after he had withdrawn funds from the Bank, Jackson was officially censured by a resolution that passed the Senate by a vote of 26 to 20. It was the first time that a President had ever been censured by Congress. Jackson lashed out at the Bank. "You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by eternal God, I will rout you out."

Unfortunately the central bank was re-created in 1913 under a new innocuous-sounding name “The Federal Reserve”, which still exists today.

Dr. Edwin Vierra stated to The Conservative Caucus Foundation at its Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. on January 13, 1997: "The bottom line of my presentation is very simple. The Federal Reserve System is unconstitutional. You start there and you know everything else that there is to know about it."



In 1784 Thomas Jefferson said: "If we determine that a dollar shall be our unit, we must then say with precision what a dollar is." Our founding fathers followed that advice and in 1792 the dollar was defined as 371 ¼ grains of silver. From 1792 until August 15, 1971 the dollar was defined as a precise weight of either silver or gold."

Irony?

Very, very simple is the language of the Constitution, but it is quite profound in its economic and political consequences. In Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, the Constitution adopts silver and gold coin exclusively as the money of the United States.
