The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, the Library of Congress, and the Government Printing Office celebrated Constitution Day today by launching a new app and web publication that bring analysis and interpretation ofconstitutional case law by LOC experts to your computer or mobile device–free.
The app is based on 100-year-old The Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation (or the Constitution Annotated), a bound and regularly updated publication with analysis of constitutional cases by the Congressional Research Service in the LOC.
The new ConstitutionAnnotated app is available for the iOS platform and allows users to read theentire document; browse by section – such as by article of or amendment to theConstitution; view and navigate content from a table of cases and index; andsearch all text. The app can be downloaded for free from iTunes. A direct link is here.
The Constitution Annotated web publication will be available on GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys) as adigitally-signed, searchable PDF that includes a linked table of contents, alinked table of cases, a linked index and GPO’s Seal of Authenticity on everypage.
The new Constitution Annotated and a suite of constitutional resources can beviewed here. The page features links to the app stores, an interactive table listingrecent cases of high interest, a bibliography of Constitution-related primarydocuments in American history and tips for searching the Constitution Annotatedon GPO’s website.
