THE FULL TEXT Read the Preamble, all seven Articles, and all 27 Amendments — including the Bill of Rights — in a clean, easy-to-read format. Each section includes editorial notes covering ratification history, key interpretations, and the context behind each clause. 55 BIOGRAPHIES Explore detailed biographies of every signer of the Constitution. Learn where they were from, the roles they played at the Constitutional Convention, and the offices they held in the new republic. KEYWORD SEARCH Basic search for words or phrases anywhere in the text. Now free for all users — use the search bar at the top of the Document or Signers list. UPGRADE FOR MORE "Constitution Explained" (optional in-app purchase) adds two study tools. “Ask about this” places common questions on every section of the Constitution — tap one to read a clear, plain-language explanation based on research by the Library of Congress. Question Search lets you type a question in your own words, like “Can the president declare war?”, and points you toward the parts your question relates to. Question Search runs entirely on your device and requires iPadOS 26+ with Apple Intelligence; the section explanations work on any device the app supports.* Nothing you type ever leaves your device, and no account is needed. One purchase covers both tools — no subscription and no recurring charge. Whether you're a student, a history buff, or a citizen who wants to know the law of the land, Constitution puts America's founding document at your fingertips. *Question Search uses on-device AI (Apple Intelligence) to match your question to a relevant section; all responses in this feature are educational information only, not legal advice, and may not reflect every court decision or every state's law. ## Key features - Full US Constitution text - Portable reference - Legal debate preparation - iPad optimized ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Constitution for iPad Upgrade | $1.99 | one-time | | Personal Notations | $0.99 | one-time | | Constitution Explained (iPad) | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 43) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/constitution-for-ipad/id363287472/reviews.md ### 1/5 — IPad Search function defective *2024-11-19* I have the iPhone version of the app and the Search function works well, e.g. Search for “Recess Appointments” works; however, the iPad Search function doesn’t return results for the same search. ### 1/5 — Cannot copy text *2024-07-29* This document is useless without the ability to select and copy text. ### 1/5 — Time to bug fix for new iPadOS *2020-11-14* Loved it, but crashed after latest iPadOS update. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2017-05-02* On my iPad, if for instance you want to reference the 25th Amendment, it is ridiculously difficult. In the index list, all the entries are truncated so they can't be read. For instance, at the end of the list there are five entries in a row that look like "Amendment X...". So you have to guess which one is the 25th. But even when you choose one, you can't tell because the detail view does not have a heading. Stay away from this one. ### 5/5 — Learn your rights *2016-09-30* This is a great app. Everyone should know their rights and what the constitution says. This app breaks it down for you. ### 5/5 — Easy to read *2016-09-21* Really great app, they separate the annotations and the actual constitution which is great. Also, very easy to look through and read. ### 5/5 — I rate 8 outta 8 m8 *2015-09-02, version 1.5.2* Yup ### 3/5 — It's just the Constitution *2015-08-13, version 1.5.2* I thought I would be able to search for key words. You can't do that. It's basically just the same as having a paper Constitution. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2015-02-10, version 1.5.2* This product has never risen above mediocre. Now it isn't even that good. Displaying the document's text - the most important function for an app about a single document - simply fails to work much of the time. ### 3/5 — Decent app *2014-10-19, version 1.5.2* It's an "ok" app. ## Frequently asked questions about Constitution for iPad ### What does this app do?
