Looking for the US Constitution?  Here are the seven original articles. Here is the Bill of Rights and here are Amendments 11-27.  (Note: The text is a transcription of the Constitution in its original form. Items that are hyperlinked have since been amended or superseded.  They are hyperlinked to the new language.)  You will be tested on the Constitution AS AMENDED.  Don't forget all of the rest of the helpful hints.  Happy Studying!
