This morning we will read the full text of the United States Constitution. The text read today reflects the changes to the Constitution made by the 27 amendments. Those portions superseded by amendment will not be read. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy). Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I will start: ``We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.''
