FOOTNOTES:
[1] The capital of the United States is Washington, where the President resides. Congress assembles here to make the laws by which the people are governed.
[2] The frequent questions on the counties, are not inserted, with an intention of requiring pupils to retain in their memories the whole of them;—but rather that no pupil should omit to learn those of his own state. This is all that should be required of them on reviewing their lessons.
[3] The Electors are chosen by the people in all the States within the thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday in December, in which an election of President and Vice President takes place. On that day all the Electors give in their votes. No person can be an Elector who holds any office under the government of the United States. The President and Vice President are chosen for the term of four years, commencing on the fourth day of March.
