He published his first newspaper the Colonial Advocate in 1824 and continued to publish it weekly into the 1830s. Over its twelve years of publication Mackenzie explicitly advocated constitutional change for a responsible government that worked for the people. The Advocate was used as a voice for constitutional reform educating and inspiring citizens to take action against their government. However besides a newspaper the Colonial Advocate Press published treatises such as this Catechism of Education. Mackenzie believed education should be available to everyone not just the elite so that everyone could benefit. "Political Education consists in a right understanding of the science of Government the business of which is to increase to the utmost the pleasues and diminish to the utmost the pains which men derive from one another ." p. 44. Most of each page consists of Annotations and Illustrations which support the author's views. These points make entertaining reading as they include quotations from sources as diverse as the 1st Annual Report 1829 of the Philadelphia House of Refuge p. 11 Wiliam Penn's letter to his family p. 24 John Locke p. 19 and the Book of Proverbs p. 5.
