Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Amendments to the constitution are part of the constitution. saying it "includes the constitution" and then omitting it, its fair to say it omits things. Yeah, it's a bit clickbaity but it's not wrong.
I'm more curious about what got omitted from the bible, heh.
But saying “the constitution and bill of rights” generally suggests the main text and the first 10 amendments
The understanding us normal folks have of the Constitution is like a living document akin to a technical manual that can be added to or updated- preamble, articles, and 27 (currently) amendments.
I can see (though not agree) with the suggestion that the Constitution they were talking about being the original sealed behind glass in a museum physical one, which just seems silly up til you realize that Trump and co. are definitely cheap/incompetent/potentially malicious enough to try and save a buck by not adding in an extra couple pages for 17 more amendments.
What do you think the Bill of Rights is, not part of the constitution?
You really read "includes the Constitution and Bill of Rights" and are genuinely puzzled that ammendments 11-27 aren't part of the Constitution bit? Cmon now
To answer the question, the first 10 amendments.
Did you think that was a gotcha?
No my point is 11-27 are also part of the … you know… constitution.
Some of them are obviously quite important, too.
