Significant parts of the Constitution were quietly removed from the Congress website
Removal of parts of Constitution from Congress website raises concerns
- Significant parts of the US Constitution, including sections 8, 9, and 10, were temporarily removed from the Congress.gov website.
- Notably, Section 9, which discusses the Writ of Habeas Corpus protecting against unlawful detention, was among the missing text.
- The disappearance prompted an online frenzy and raised concerns about transparency among the public and media outlets.
- The Library of Congress, which maintains the website, stated that the removal was due to a 'coding error'.
- The missing sections were subsequently restored to the Congress.gov website later the same day.
