Restore Constitution Article I Sections 9 & 10 Immediately

To: Gov. Pritzker, Sen. Feigenholtz, Rep. Croke

From: A constituent in Chicago, IL

August 6, 2025

As of 8/6/2025, The Library of Congress conveniently removed Article 1 Sections 9 and 10 (due process/habeas corpus, states’ rights) from the Constitution on the official constitution.congress.gov website, which are the sections that President Donald J Trump is actively violating. They also removed a portion from Section 8 regarding congressional control over Washington, D.C., whilst the President currently tweets about demanding control of our capital. This is marked as a “coding error”, but web programmers state this cannot possibly be an issue that would take more than a few hours to fix if the Library of Congress cares. This seems very likely intentional. I’m writing in to all my Reps to demand that something is immediately done to resolve this—we will not let you try and edit the Constitution in your favor. As your constituent, I request you resolve this immediately so that we may protect our democracy.
