INTRODUCTION and TERMS

ConstitutionPower.com is an educational service offering courses of study on our Constitution's “System of Government” and “System of Finance” from The Federalist Papers. The following are included in Courses in whole or in part: Declaration of Independence's Preamble (from first print edition authorized by John Hancock), related essays of The Federalist Papers (Federalist Papers or Federalist), and other documents from the Library of Congress, National Archives, U.S. State Department and other institutions.  The content of the Constitutional Power Series of Courses includes much of this material and is fully described in table of contents on our website www.constitutionpower.com.  Below the “Home” Constitutional Convention Portrait, there are 3 Founders Course Posters and underlying Tables of Contents and the 6 related T.E.A.M. (Truth, Education, Assessment, Meaning) Course Posters and underlying Tables of Contents. The Posters in Course descriptions and Courses and Webpages are called Feynman Concept Maps after Nobel laureate Richard Feynman and are used to portray conceptual depictions of our System of Government and Finance of our original Constitution until 1913. After 1913, Feynman Concept Maps depict how Democrats destroyed these system and took all our Constitutional rights as citizens to the present time from the author's spy satellite and business system-thinking experiences. With the table of Contents these Concept Maps describe a particular Course to select for your shopping “Cart.”
