The Founders' Compass
Thirty real scenarios drawn from adult American life. Behind each one is a constitutional or legal answer that actually applies. Clear the bar — twenty-four of thirty correct — and earn a Sovereign Citizen certificate.
Why We Play
Civic literacy is not a trivia game. It is the working knowledge that lets an adult American recognize a right when it applies, name a jurisdiction when it matters, and see a founding principle in the situations of ordinary life — a traffic stop, a workplace conversation about wages, a public protest, a state law that quarrels with a federal one.
Most Americans went through school without ever being asked to reason from the Constitution to a real situation. The Compass is the missing exercise. It teaches by testing, and it grades honestly — no participation trophies, no dressed-up quiz masquerading as understanding. Miss a question and you get the reasoning back in plain English, plus a specific place in the free GSU library to shore it up. Clear the bar and you have proven something real about yourself: you can carry the Constitution into your daily life.
How the Compass Works
Thirty scenarios in three tiers. Each answer is graded immediately and explained in full. Everything runs on your device — nothing is collected, nothing is sent.
Everyday Civic Life
Rights, protections, and jurisdictions that show up in ordinary adult life — traffic stops, wage discussions, contracts, jury duty, public assembly.
Constitutional Structure
The mechanics of the Republic — federal vs. state authority, court jurisdictions, amendments, burdens of proof, the reach of executive power.
Civic Sovereignty
The founding-level questions — judicial review, the Federalist Papers, executive privilege, habeas corpus, impeachment, the Electoral College.
