Interactive Constitution
To use the Interactive Constitution, just hit the "Explore It" button on its opening screen. Then you can:
Select the "Articles" and "Amendments" tabs on the next screen to read the part of the Constitution that interests you.
For the first 15 Amendments, you can read the annotated text of each amendment, along with "Common Interpretations"
- joint statements by leading scholars detailing areas of agreement
- and "Matters of Debate," individual statements by those same scholars detailing discussing areas of disagreement, along with the annotated text of each amendment.
For Amendments 16-27, you can read the full annotated text, plus interpretations from the Annenberg Classroom, a national leader in resources for civic education.
For the Articles I-VII of the U.S. Constitution, you can read the full text of each article by sections, with annotations from some of the nation’s leading scholars and from the Annenberg Classroom.
The "About The Constitution" section contains a series of white papers that provide overarching background on the Constitution, its history, and how it should be interpreted and applied.

Very handy for reference, but would be much better if it were updated to the current Android version.
one of the best interactive apps, as a law enforcement officer my colleagues and I use It to quiz each other... Awesome
This is an app every US citizen should have and at least skim through regularly. To the app developers and the donor: Thank you!!
Very enlightening. Educational, even for those already familiar with these documents.
Everyone should know the Construction front to back and this is a good way to learn it.
Need to update this app developers, so it runs correctly on new phones too!!!
Great but it tells me I need the developer to check for an update
use it often when attending speaker events to follow along
Please update this app so its useful on newer cell phones.
Very handy tool.
Use it in my civics class to yank my students the constitution and hope our government works. Love the articles and background information
Would not format to fit my screen.
Something EVERY American needs to have installed!!!!!
EVERY TIME I GO INTO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION I AUTOMATICALLY GET EXCITED TO KNOW AND BE SURE OF MY RIGHTS AS I LIVE MY LIFE ON A GLOBAL SCALE DAILY.
I LOVE it!!!
A go to source of not only the text, but well-reasoned interpretations of the text.
My best subject in college legal study!
hey this is pretty okay 👌
Every American should read the Constitution and the Amendments. This app helps me to understand the significance and how it pertains to our world today.
Thankfully we have this document and these freedoms on the internet remind us how our country should be governed.
An incredibly useful tool that anyone, especially students, should have at their disposal.
My teacher made Me download this. I felt obligated to make a good review
Good app, lots of background info. Areas in the original that have been amended are nicely annotated. Would be nice if it could be moved to auxiliary storage.
I recommend this app to everyone wishing to study our framing document.
Great in depth analysis at every point
So far, I really like that this so attempts to foster healthy conversation on this very important document. Would appreciate greater search functionality and perhaps a way to share links to the discussions or articles. Would recommend it.
Though there is a substantial amount of information/interpretation in addition to the actual text, it is formatted in a frustrating way. There is no search function and each option for selection is in too large a font, which means a lot of scrolling. Look to some of the higher-rated apps for improved functionality.
Great graphics and interactive design. Very limited interpretive content, so much so that the result can be highly misleading.
The app seems to function ok, but some of the interpretations included are a dark reminder that a Law Degree is available to anyone who can afford one.
