I’m not disagreeing. I was referring to a printed Constitution published in 1935 in which the comma does not appear. Why would it be in the original but not in published versions since then? I don’t know what the history of publishing the Constitution is, and why the printer would publish it without the comma. It would interesting to see if, when, and why it was published with or without a comma. The sentence doesn’t make sense with the comma inserted, and perhaps if it occurs in the original, it was omitted at some point for grammatical clarity.
As I said earlier, copies were made by hand by people who could make a fortune these days as forgers. Just because a person could faithfully copy an important document doesn’t mean he was good at punctuation too. I believe there were at least thirteen first generation copies made - one for each state - and no one knows how many more were made from those copies. Every one of those required someone with a steady hand and a good sense of what he was doing. I’m sure some of those copiers were better than others and made mistakes. Heck, my supposed photocopy might actually be from one of those copies of copies.
