“I defy you to find a copy of the Constitution that does not include the language before the amendment and the amendment; else, how you would know what was amended.”
I’ve seen Constitution copies where the amended sections are in brackets, or italics. So they just skip over those sections, and the amendments fill in those gaps.
That was the essence of my point.
Why did they skip over "that" amended language but did not skip over other amended language? E.g. the 16th amendment.
