Here is a nice page on the Library of Congress site that provides the text of our Bill of Rights, Constitution and Declaration of Independance. It is interesting to read and know these documents. It is rather sad that they are not a required lesson for children in public schools. The only reason I even know as much as the preamble to the constitution is due to stupid little educational commercials they used to air in the '70s. Anyhow, now you can learn the ACTUALL text of these important historical documents that pertain directly to you. I need to make a version of the Constitution that shows all of the parts that have been basicly nullified by F.E.M.A. and the Patriot Act and other lesser known Acts and Bills that have passed since WWII. Well, for now, here's the link. Do take some time to make use of it. Even if you only print it out for later perusal.
