United States Constitution (v. 1.1.17) Разработано Ken Hunt |
This application is for all you constitution geeks. I wanted something that was easier to navigate then other applications I've seen, had a real table of contents broken down by articles, sections and amendments, didn't treat the first ten amendments like one giant inseparable document, was searchable, and contained other related documents, ideas, and trivia like the Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg Address, The Virginia Plan, The Great Compromise, ratification dates, and anything else I could think of that floats in that new Constellation of Liberty the Framers were shooting for two centuries ago.
Please note that I did not write this, but gathered the text, notes, and annotations from a variety of sources, but mostly www.usconstitution.net
(see below). I wanted a handy, self-contained reference to the Constitution.
Navigation thru sections of the constitution or articles of confederation is done using the D-pad or track ball of your device if equipped, or by swiping your finger left or right across the screen.
Pressing the select text menu will temporarily disable gestures (finger swipes). The text selection process is is built into Android -- learn it and you have learned how to use it in this app. Once text is copied onto the clipboard, gestures will not be restored until you share the clipboard contents to email, or Twitter, whatever. Gestures are also restored by returning to the top level menu.
Features:
- Searchable US Constitution and Articles of Confederation
- Resizable text
- Ratification Dates of Amendments
- Bios of the signers
- Constitution timeline
- Declaration of Independence
- Articles of Confederation
- Gettysburg address
- Mayflower Compact
- Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
- Star-Spangled Banner
- Emancipation Proclamation
- I Have a Dream
More!
Odds & Ends:
- The U.S. Constitution has not been updated since 1992. Any updates made to the app are to improve the functionality of the app, add features, or to remove bugs.
- The app contains a few hyperlinks to some source or reference material on the web, so it will ask for internet access in the permission when you install.
- If you find a bug (and you want it fixed) email the developer using the link on this page, don't just leave a comment (Android secret: Developers do not read their comments).
Enjoy!!

[2011-10-05] Louis: Terrific App This is a "must-have" for anyone who is interested in US history and the most important documents forming its foundation. It's very well done, and easy to use. If I could add anything it would be a history of Presidents: numerical order, dates of birth and death, dates of entering and leaving office, party, birthplace, and any other info that's available (VPs, wives, children, etc.). That being said, what's already included is extensive. |

|
[2011-08-31] TJ: Great concept Awesome collection of documents. If you pause while reading then try to scroll the app will jump to the next doc you lose your place over and over aga |

|
[2011-08-16] Mike: DX Skeptical about constant updates. Inaccuracies in why founders felt certain ways IMHO. |
|
[2011-08-08] Michael: After reading this is clear that ron paul is a strict constitutionalist and should be President of the United Sates of America! |
|

|
[2011-08-04] Kevin: it is the constitution of the united states of america what else is there to be said |
|
[2011-08-03] ALLAN: (HTC) Incredible. This will come in handy when the Feds get big-headed! |
|
[2011-08-03] Deborah Lee: Are the frequent "updates" an insidious means of keeping up with Obama's ideology? He tramples our Constitution. I have to wonder. |
|
[2011-08-01] thomas: The beginning of the constitution is missing text. |
|
[2011-08-01] Elizabeth: Like the app. Very useful. However I cannot download the update. I receive an error. Please fix thus error and you will get 5 stars. |

|
[2011-07-30] jonathan: Great app, too many updates tho. Ellis, Bush used it as toilet paper, what's ur point? Con does change over time, called an amendment. Silly tea party |
|
[2011-07-28] Eric: Another update Ken, WHY??? You and your brother Mike need to get your sh1t togther and stop the constant updates |
|
[2011-07-27] Brian: corporations are not people |
|
[2011-07-27] J: Every American should have this program on their phone. Governments grow big from eating the freedoms their people give them. |
|
[2011-07-27] Al: Great app... Includes other documents as well and adds to them with updates which is nice contrary to previous idiot reviewer. |
|
[2011-07-27] Jason: Some good historical information. Five stars for comparisons of current politics vs the constitution! |
|
[2011-07-27] C.: Sharing function causes forse close. Evo, running OMJ 2.3 |
|
[2011-07-25] Mike: Obama need not apply. |
|
[2011-07-25] florencio: Mike it's better to be silent and be thought ignorant then posting something and proving it |
|
[2011-07-25] Ellis: Florencio, Mike is right tho. Gave this five stars. Get a kick out of the irony of the updates. Is that because potus is trying to rewrite it? |
|
[2011-07-25] Drue: A great, simple app. Leave the politics out if your comments. No one cares. |
|
[2011-07-25] Marlene: GO MIKE! |

[2011-07-20] Dominick: 5 Stars + Outstanding App! |
|
[2011-07-20] Rey: Just like our govt, there's so much secrecy going on here. Why so many updates? Why does it need my personal information? |
|
[2011-07-20] Doug: This simple app gives ready access and searchability to these historic documents. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Federalist Papers soon... |
|
[2011-07-20] Jeffrey: Great app! The updates are not on the documents themselves, it is for functionality of the application. New devices all the time will equal new update |
