Kentucky Colonel Responsibilities

The Kentucky Colonel Commission Certificate says the Governor is making these "Letters Patent," this means the certificate itself is a "legal act" of the head-of-state. The certificate endows its recipient and warrants "Rights, Privileges, and Responsibilities thereto appertaining", but these so-called benefits are not prescribed by law because they are granted without limitation to the lawmakers and government founders that created the Commonwealth. This page is about those unnamed responsibilities.
