About

Pocket Constitution

Features
Read full description

The complete Constitution of the United States, set in classic serif typography on a parchment page — the Preamble, all seven Articles with the attestation and signers, and all twenty-seven Amendments. The text follows the National Archives transcription and preserves the original spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of the engrossed parchment — "chuse," "defence," and "Behaviour" appear exactly as the framers wrote them. Editorial notes mark every passage later modified or superseded by amendment, matching the Archives' own annotations. READ • A table of contents organized into the Seven Articles, the Bill of Rights, and Amendments XI–XXVII • Adjustable text size with a live preview, on top of full Dynamic Type support • A parchment-by-day, candlelit-study-by-night palette with full dark mode • Text selection everywhere, so you can copy any clause FIND • Full-text search with highlighted snippets — tap a result to jump straight to that passage • Citation-aware search: type "art I sec 8," "14th amendment," or "amend. XIV § 2" and jump directly there • Spotlight integration — search "double jeopardy" from your home screen and open the app right at the provision • Tappable cross-references — notes like "superseded by the Seventeenth Amendment" link straight to that provision CITE • Copy any section as plain text, as text with its Bluebook citation, or as the citation alone (U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1.) • Share any of it with the standard share sheet KEEP • Bookmarks at the section level — Article I · Section 8, Amendment XIV · Section 1, and so on • Siri and Shortcuts: "Read the Fourth Amendment in Pocket Constitution," or build your own shortcuts around any provision PRIVATE BY DESIGN The entire Constitution ships inside the app. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is uploaded, and the app never touches the network. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking — your bookmarks and settings never leave your device.
