About Us
ReadYourConstitution.us / RYC.us is an apolitical, nonpartisan effort to present objectively searchable versions of the United States Constitution both as originally adopted and as currently amended with accompanying commentaries from across the political spectrum along with links to pertinent legal cases and statutes, related paragraphs in the Federalist Papers, and other relevant historical and interpretative content.

The goal is to inform and educate open-minded people of all political persuasions.

All are invited to get involved by suggesting additional commentaries, Federalist Paper links, or quotes. Volunteer proofreaders and content managers curators are also needed ( contact ReadYourConstitutionUS@gmail.com ).

For further details or to learn more about how to help and/or become involved (if only in pointing out transcription errors) or for information regarding financially supporting this site including sponsorship and advertising opportunities contact us at ReadYourConstitutionUS@gmail.com .
