Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website [maintained by The Library of Congress], as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch.
The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17.
Several Reddit threads identified the changes in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution: Large parts of Section 8 have been removed, and Sections 9 and 10 have been deleted altogether. In the screenshot below, you can see the archived version of the site on the Wayback Machine on the left, and the current site on the right — the text highlighted in yellow has been removed.
These sections largely relate to the powers that Congress has and does not have, as well as limitations on the powers of individual states. The removal includes sections relating to habeas corpus, the powers that protect citizens from unlawful detention.
Some of the sections’ text appears to be missing, as indicated by a trailing semicolon at the end of Section 8, where text used to follow. More
what did u fellatio-performers do?
WTF going on?
Of all the books on all the subjects that I have available to me at 74 years old, the ONE AND ONLY book I keep at my computer is “The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution Of The United Sates.”
What other parts were effected by “coding errors and why?
AI did it!!!!! The 21st century excuse.
I’ve got the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence I received from the Tea Party Patriots.
I am more than willing to photocopy it and send it to DC if they have trouble correcting what they’ve done.
I’ll even pay the copy fees and postage as I consider myself a America loving citizen.
My version of the Constitution reads, quote verbatim: “Blah blah blah, big word, big word, yada, yada, yada…whatever.”
It was published by an outfit called Saving Our Democracy in the Age of Trumpism. Sounds legit and totally scholarly.
Inquiring minds want to know how this happened and who was responsible.
You’d think that some things like the Founding Documents, once copied and put online, would be locked down and made immune from changes, deliberate and/or accidental.
igotsyo error swinging, *******
Hardly surprising when proof readers and copy editors are a thing of the past. We’re lucky if anything is run through a spellchecker these days.
I call this a crime. Seriously. Not just a mistake. A crime calling for serious punishment.
I guarantee you that this was done by some asshole who swears that Trump is a “nazi”.
Agreed, this is a crime. This is how the Comminist Left rolls. The first step in re-writing history is the subtle elimination of facts.
Keep your books and documents! They can’t change those, but ultimately they will resort to burning them!
Remember when they were destroying historical stautues…
the error consisted of allowing your dindu ass to touch anything made by real humans
