Here is a story from a researcher that may help you understand the constitutions:
When I was about fourteen years-old I noticed that there were two Constitutions in evidence, even though everyone persisted in talking about "the" Constitution as if there was only one.
Those two commonly available Constitutions are:
"The Constitution of the United States of America" and "The Constitution of the United States".
As recently as two years ago, I was able to go down to the local Barnes and Noble, and pick up recent publications of both documents. So, it really shouldn't be any Big News that there are multiple Constitutions.
Then, in my twenties, I heard --- from the local Congressman during a dinner after a Townhall Meeting -- about a Constitution "robed in dust" and laying in full view in one of the rooms at the Capitol Building. This strange artifact was a Constitution, but under a different name: The Constitution for the united States of America.
Like so many other bits and pieces I ran across, I flagged that for further reference, but it wasn't until twenty-five years after that, that Bill Benson's research into the lack of ratification for the Sixteenth Amendment got me motivated to start searching for documents that "should be there" --and aren't.
Thousands of people SAY they have ""SEEN"" the two differently Titled Constitutions, and so far, every time I ask for Proof, absolutely NOBODY, has shown me the Two Differently Titled Constitutions side by side....
Now, Ass-U-me-ing they didn't change the Text or Body of the Document, Which they DID DO via ""Amendments"", then the ONLY thing left is the Specific TITLES....
Of these Two, there are only Two Words that supposedly get flipped around....
TO and FOR....
THAT is the piece of the Puzzle that NOBODY has shown me, and so far, makes me believe that NOBODY actually has proof of....
So it stands as Conjecture, with the Bill of Adjustments, aka The Communist Amendments #11 through 27 exempted....
