The Patriots’ Catechism is a modern-day resource that provides exposure to many of the riches and insights that make our country great. The Patriots’ Catechism teaches the foundations of what all patriots should know about the country they call home.  The catechism is arranged in fifty-two questions and answers that are meant to be committed to memory. The bold words form a concise, easy-to-memorize response, while the full answer provides greater context and a memorization test for those who love a good challenge. The questions and answers are divided into four parts: The Beginning (Q.1-12); Establishment of the U.S. and Making Laws (Q.13-27); Powers and Duties (Q.28-48); The Constitution (Q.49-52). There are two components to the curriculum:  the Patriots’ Catechism Book with Commentary and Flashcards.
