      It ACTUALLY never changes. Even if it’s Amended, the Amendment is an addition, nothing gets removed.

      See: Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3:

      “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”

      because this is an annotated version of the constitution with legal analyses. those texts need to be updated occasionally with new case law.

        It’s almost like the base document can be loaded without annotations and never change. Then have the annotations load separately on top of the base page preventing even this odd “could be a tech issue” problem.

        Don’t accept their blaming tech for it. There is no reason that those annotations should even have been updated at this particular point anyway.
