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!!

I love this app and have used it for years. It is a great handy reference not only for the Constitution and Amendments but also the Articles of Confederation and other important historical texts. My only gripe is that I recently got a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, and the text selection function freezes, preventing me from selecting a portion of the text to copy. Very frustrating.

The app downloaded fast, the size is small, and the catalog of documents included is really impressive. No need to go download multiple apps. Navigation is easy enough. My only complaint is that it's way too easy to trigger the horizontal swipe, and the documents change a little too easily, so much so simple vertical scrolling will trigger a swipe to the next document, and then I'll lose my place when i come back. Perhaps the developer can institute a threshold for horizontal swipes.

Simple and easy-to-use, convenient reference, with tons of associated information available. I love this app for its simplicity, readability, convenience, and being well organized. I hope they don't ever change it, like so many other app makers who "ruin a good thing".

This is a great app. I went through the various functions / menu selections. And it works pretty well. the search opt. could use some help from a database consultant. But still does okay. This App has lots more the the constitution, Bill of Right, Getty Address, Federalis papers, and much much more.

Excellent! Finally a digital version that includes THE PREAMBLE TO THE BILL OF RIGHTS! That's right, the bill of rights has a preamble! The vast majority of the apps and print versions deliberately and maliciously leave it out. Without the preamble to the bill of rights our constitutional rights loose much of their power and meaning. Don't let them gaslight you into thinking it can be changed because it CAN'T!

Great app and very important. Sad that the Constitution says the same thing, but instead of rescinding, amending, abolishing it etc. you would think those things have happened! We the people are doomed to repeat history because we never seem to LEARN!

I've had this app installed for years. It's well organized and easily navigated. Great for students of liberty or for quick refferance. Includes the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and other noteworthy documents and speeches.

Any device specific bugs aside that you may encounter (it has been 2 years since updating but functions fine for me, others have mentioned newly added Android features not cooperating within the app), the dev offers a no-frills, no-nonsense, digital copy of the U.S. Constitution in an app less than 1MB, as it shoud be. Many thanks to him for that, but more importantly to the many founding fathers whos legacy and vision we strive to carry on today and beyond.

I'm not an American. This app really helps me to understand American Constitution and few other documents in detail. There are even explanations at some places!! Great user interface and functionality too. Thank you.

On my phone, tablet and laptop. Handy for checking references to the Constitution for exact language. Particularly useful during the impeachment, and now during the election. Easy to use TOC and search features.

Very well organized, nice layout, Needs more color, maybe a flag or something to make patriots get that "Proud To Be An American" feeling. Great app. No ads! Check it out! It's a keeper!

This is so much more than just the United States Constitution. It includes MANY other important documents, including the Declaration of Independence. Every document is fully selectable, so you can copy & paste until your heart's content. Best app of this category, hands down. It ought to be in a category all by itself.

Does not allow and copy / clip of any more than one word in the app. Wow. It's not like there needs to be Copyright protection of a very "public domain" document. Uninstalled.

Aar. B. Jun 19, 2020     

It is an amazing app. It is has search features, highlighter so you can mark references and doesn't have annoying ads. Thank you for this

Dav. P. Sep 16, 2018     

I love the Constitution and that it has been made available however every time I try to scroll down it instead moves to the next section or article. It is much to sensitive and makes it almost unreadable. Please fix this

Perfect app. Quick to load, easy to use and lots of info. Background of "American DNA" section (intellectual DNA, not physical), is awesome bonus beyond what the title would suggest.

Ste. C. Oct 17, 2019     

It's easy to use, the notes are informative and all the extra documents are really great.

Chr. L. Aug 24, 2021     

So many misspellings I promptly uninstalled. This app couldn't have possibly been written by an American. For example, what American spells choose like this: "chuse"? Sorry, not sorry.

And. B. M. Jan 9, 2021     

Ken, thank you so much. I know this required a lot of time and work. No ads. Free app. Only a true Patriot would do this. Everyone should have this on their phone.

Ste. M. Aug 5, 2020     

Awesome!!! Includes Black screen, other documents i.e. Mayflower Compact, Articles of Confederation and much more! Can't wait to check these out too!!! Great job 👏 👍👍

Best of the Constitution apps. Very well organized and intuitive. Had it for years and recommend to my Civics students.

Ind. W. Sep 28, 2018     

One of the easiest to navigate constitution apps. Every American should carry a copy of our constitution!

Ric. M. Nov 23, 2020     

Great resource to have handy! There's much more than the Constitution.

Jam. A. M. Jun 23, 2020     

It's great to catch up with the writing words of our fourth's fathers's written and sign the equelities of equel between man and woman and the right to thy protect yourself by making a stand. For just three words could make a moment last forever " I love you"..!

Js. B. Jul 11, 2020     

What a great Idea to orginize a ready reference to one of the greatest documents of our time.

Edw. L. W. I. Aug 18, 2019     

clean and simple. i wish this app included dates amendments were ratified.

Zan. K. Mar 29, 2020     

Love it! Gives anyone who wants it a copy of the constitution which is a good thing for people to have as a frame of reference. 😁👍
