THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

1776 | The Founding Fathers

I think some people on FR need a refresher course.

Bringing back an old classic...

I keep these bookmarks handy:

Constitution.
Bill of Rights.
Declaration of Independence.
Common Sense (Thomas Paine).

Good idea. However, I don't think that there is anyhing in there that currently means what it says. Any time a judge gets to "interpret" the Constitution as he sees fit the document no longer has it's original meaning or force.

You may need a refresher course on how to spell "Constitution" 8-)

Missed a spot:

27th Amendment

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

[Caged in Canuckistan]

Isn't it amazing how it all fits neatly onto one webpage?

Now imagine reading the neverending Euro constitution...I don't think my connection could handle the bandwidth.

[Constitution Day]

It's "Constitution".

But BTTT, anyway. :)

"...has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance"

[mysterio]

That's funny. I didn't see a footnote that said you can toss the whole thing out to catch a "terrorist" or a drug user. But most people around here seem to think it's there.

Damn, I would have spell checked...but that would have been a disaster. I cut and pasted from the previous thread. Damnit.

I have have always been a careless speller. I often sacrifice my spelling on the alter of speed.

1776 | The Founding Fathers

Actually, I think it was 1787. :-)

Good post, though.

Likewise, I doubt it would pass as legislation, if offered to this Congress.

Goody. Constitution links!

That one has hyperlinks to the amendments included in the affected text for changes made to the Constitution.

Thanks to AntiGuv for that.

Now what's this document again? Republicans nor Democrats have the time to read this. Have a nation of states to run don't you know...

Refresher course? I believe more than a few 'conservatives' need to read it for the first time instead of getting their talking points from the RNC

[Thomas Jefferson II]

I carry a copy of the US Constitution with every single day. It is the greatest piece ever written. Now we should all get together and demand that CONgress look at the sixteenth, and seventeenth amendments. The 16th destroyed us as people, and the 17th destroyed us as states. Thomas Jefferson warned us what a Central Bank would do for this country, and he was 100% correct.

Altar.

Thank you for posting The Constitution of The United States again. We ALL need a refresher.

I found my Bicentennial Keepsake Edition with introduction by President Ronald Reagan. The Bible and The Constitution are my reading materials of choice.

Thanks for the link. (Moderator...since I included no link with the thread...can we add this as the source link?) Thanks.

This is pure vanity on the part of TheOtherOne. The US Constitution is available on about 10,000 sites on the Internet.
