This Common English Version of the Constitution simply translates the original 18th Century Constitution of the United States into an easy to read version for everyone today. Now you don’t have to be a law expert to know what it means, or look up the meaning of each section. In fact, it is now possible to read the entire constitution all the way through without stopping, and understand it. We have removed any reference to past dates and clauses that don’t pertain to today and only left information that was currently applicable to the Constitution as if it had been written today.

Additionally, all amendments have been added into the constitution where they would best fit. This version also tries to keep the order of the original Constitution as best as possible, which is why the Bill of Rights is at the end, and not the beginning, or within the first Article as Madison originally intended. Do you, or anyone for that matter, really want to have to read about slavery every time you look at the constitution? Although there is still a few mentions of slavery being illegal, all references to slaves and their lack of equality has been removed.

This version is for iPad and has the added benefit of a side by side comparison with the original language of the US Constitution.
