About United States Constitution

This application is for all you constitution geeks. I wanted something that was easier to navigate than other applications I've seen, had a real table of contents broken down by articles, sections and amendments, didn't treat the first ten amendments like one giant inseparable document, was searchable, and contained other related documents, ideas, and trivia like the Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg Address, The Virginia Plan, The Great Compromise, ratification dates, and anything else I could think of that floats in that new Constellation of Liberty the Framers were shooting for two centuries ago.

Please note that I did not write this, but gathered the text, notes, and annotations from a variety of sources, but mostly www.usconstitution.net
(see below). I wanted a handy, self-contained reference to the Constitution.

Navigation thru sections of the constitution or articles of confederation is done using the D-pad or track ball of your device if equipped, or by swiping your finger left or right across the screen.

Pressing the select text menu will temporarily disable gestures (finger swipes). The text selection process is is built into Android -- learn it and you have learned how to use it in this app. Once text is copied onto the clipboard, gestures will not be restored until you share the clipboard contents to email, or Twitter, whatever. Gestures are also restored by returning to the top level menu.

Features:
- Searchable US Constitution and Articles of Confederation
- Resizable text
- Ratification Dates of Amendments
- Bios of the signers
- Constitution timeline
- Declaration of Independence
- Articles of Confederation
- Gettysburg address
- Mayflower Compact
- Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
- Star-Spangled Banner
- Emancipation Proclamation
- I Have a Dream

More!


Odds & Ends:
- The U.S. Constitution has not been updated since 1992. Any updates made to the app are to improve the functionality of the app, add features, or to remove bugs.

- The app contains a few hyperlinks to some source or reference material on the web, so it will ask for internet access in the permission when you install.

- If you find a bug (and you want it fixed) email the developer using the link on this page, don't just leave a comment (Android secret: Developers do not read their comments).

Enjoy!!

Love it! It allows me to always have our constitution with me at all times. The quiz is fun too. To the Author... I side loaded the app on firestick. It works but would be better if it easier to tell when a link was selected. Before anyone blasts me, I know the app was not designed for use on firestick. I'm just saying it would be nice to be able to read the constitution on TV. The app runs on firestick already, just a little rough. Thanks!

The only thing I would like to work better, is scrolling on the home page. (Edit: FIXED Already! Nice! )All others are smooth. The menu button actually appears on my bottom task bar for HTC m9 on 6.0 marshmallow. Thanks for making this app, with absolutely minimal permissions, Free, and Ad Free.

Brilliant!!! Comprehensive layout and search enabled application. This enormously friendly Application allows you to expedite one's ability to quickly access personally required information concerning everything Constitutional! ☺️ Particularly advantageous when the need arises to quickly clarify and rebuttal Numbnuts on Social Media, as we all come upon those person's who believe their exceptionally scholared in referencing the Constitution to manipulate their rhetoric to substantiate their agenda. Often, a simple search through the Application can provide the evidence to contradict their Baloney. Annotated, providing wonderful explanations, in detail, for better understanding and clarification. Wonderful, delightful and certainly enlightening in many regards. Download recommended, especially if your an American Citizen!!!

When I try to copy text, I get strange behavior such as jumping ahead to the next article. Very frustrating.

Fantastic app which presents not just the text of the Constitution and many other documents important to American history, but which also provides interesting and informative commentary about the Constitution. As far as the addition which I think is needed, I'd add Washington's Farewell Address to the list of other documents besides the Constitution which are included in the app. It's as important to American history as the other documents included.

Links to notes and related text work again. This app blows all the other Constitution apps out of the water.

Since the information seems to no longer be taught in schools these days, it should be a ready reference to those who want / need to know about the history and background of the USA.

My only problem: there are 117 million of us in the usa using android, yet only 1 million downloads....developers need to include a way to share this app easily, we should all know this

Should be required reading for every American. This short but critical document is the very foundation for your life if you live in the United States. This app of the US Constitution provides the clearest and most accurate information available on the only thing left protecting us from the morons and thieves that Americans ignorant of its content keep voting into office. Our Constitution grants so many rights and privileges to us all; but all rights always come with RESPONSIBILITIES attached. The first and most important responsibility of every American is to at least know what how your government works and why. Perhaps if they read that short document rather than constantly complaining and bashing the "tyrannical" government, we wouldn't be stuck with a bunch of lunatics intent on stripping us of all those rights & endangering every living thing on this planet today.

I like that it breaks down the history of the misspelled words to where it all started. This is a great app. Thanks!

Seriously guys, just because your app is about a 240+ year old document doesn't mean you have to use a 240+ year old UI.... How about updating that. Otherwise great app.

Every US citizen should be familiar with all the content this app provides. Too many do not even know what the Constitution is or what it stands for.

Well done. Love the Constitution in the pocket idea. Just a suggestion though, I'd add the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. Everything else is great. Thanks.

Good app that has all the information that you could ever need. The only gripe that I have is the poor performance. It stutters and slogs along when you scroll. Warms up my phone too. I didn't expect such issues with this type of software.

If your a doubter of the validity of this app, try reading a book. If your book came from the Texas board of education then you will be sorely mislead. If you want to pin insults on the current president for not knowing the document then you are practicing your constitutional rights. Just don't forget to be balanced and truthful to your history.

I removed a different app with the Constitution, it had a small but present "criticism" section. No such problem here. In fact there is a wealth of patriotic material here! Very good all. A keeper for sure!

I just installed this app moments ago. And after a super-fast scroll thru the topics, I first tapped "Liberty or Death!" (Patrick Henry is one of my family ancestors.) Thanks so much for including PHs speech!!!!! This app is awesome!

Good app. All of us should know the constitution. Aside from that... some comments/reviews appear to show that some folks have selective or short term memory. I recall another president who violated the constitution without so much as a peep from the minions.

by R####:

I think every American should get just a little bit excited and stirred up by the words penned at the hands of our fore fathers. This compilation of documents and addresses accompanied by smooth navigation and a light program (that doesn't need permissions for *everything* on your phone) makes this a must have for anyone with red, white, and blue blood. I tip my hat to you sir.

Helps me to prove that right wing hate mongers are lying when they claim that President Obama is breaking the law.

This app is the best way I have seen to familiarize oneself with the Constitution easily. A beautiful app, and a brilliant idea!

I can't seem to find the Federalist Papers within the app. Would be a wonderful addition to complete this app. Without it, it doesn't seem complete. I had to download another app that has the Federalist Papers. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IN NEXT UPDATE so I can just use your app for everything.
