The text of the constitution of the United States is given in many general reference books, e. g. New international encyclopaedia, Cyclopedia of American government, World almanac, American Whitaker, etc. and is included also in the House and Senate Manuals and the various state or legislative manuals. A good edition to keep on hand for reference purposes is that in the House manual which is indexed and contains full notes of all ratifications. The Declaration of independence is also given in these same books. State constitutions are given in the various state manuals and these should be used when the latest revisions or amendments are wanted.
