an annotated constitution

"We the People of the United States, in Order..." Don't worry, I'm not going to make you read the whole thing. But there are times when you need see to the entire U.S. Constitution, and at moments like those, you'll want to head to this site. Not only can you access each article and amendment with the click of a mouse, but best of all, you can read the authoritative, hyperlink-footnoted annotations to each section. Find out, say, the history of capital punishment in relation to the Eighth Amendment, or scan a brief history of the events leading to the Nineteenth Amendment's ratification (women's suffrage). A terrific resource for law students, or anyone interested in the roots of U.S. law.
