I defy you to find a copy of the Constitution that does not include the language before the amendment and the amendment; else, how you would know what was amended.
“I defy you to find a copy of the Constitution that does not include the language before the amendment and the amendment; else, how you would know what was amended.”
I’ve seen Constitution copies where the amended sections are in brackets, or italics. So they just skip over those sections, and the amendments fill in those gaps.
Is it not crossed out? Does it usually not indicate that it was rescinded?
That means, when reading it, that it is no longer valid.
So, if you are reading aloud it means to skip it. I am referring to the process of public speaking, not the written document.
It’s not really worth discussing, as you and I will not agree about the process. But in terms of giving a proper speech, they did it correctly. Whether or not you like it is a matter of opinion.
