American jellies: Where in your house (other than on the computer) would I find a copy of the U.S. Constitution?

My Library, but it is just a copy.

Oh, and I looked something up on it earlier this week ”+5, Yay!”

We have it spread out on the floor in front of our Obama altar, so we can wipe our feet on it as we offer incense.

Seriously, I don’t suppose we own a copy. And I’m sure I haven’t read it through in its entirety since school. I have consulted sections occasionally, prompted by this or that political dispute.

I used to have a poster of the pre-amble for my classroom. I guess it’s gone now.

I have a copy in two or three different anthologies on my bookshelf. The last time I read the Constitution, in full, was when I took American Government as a freshman in college (2008).

” When was the last time you read it? ”

I read it to religious dominion types all the time to show them that this is a secular democratic republic and not the theocracy they want it to be!

In my desk drawer under the computer. I reference it often, usually when writing to my Senators and Congresswoman.

Having a copy of the U.S. Constitution is how they track you.

I get all the Constitutioning I need via John Stewarts’ America: The Book, a full collection Doonesbury comics, and Blain from Predator.

Was in the World Book Encyclopedia that I finally got rid of after I realized 1987 isn’t likely to roll around again.

We don’t own a copy and I’ve never read it.

We have some books in the reference section of our library of around 1,000 books that contain it. I read it online a few months back.

Hm. I thought I must have a copy somewhere, but it appears I do not.

Last time I read it in entirety was senior year government class.
Ten years ago.

I keep a modified copy in my wallet. A copy that actually makes sense for modern times.

I have a little book that contains the Constitution. I keep it on a table in my living room.Over the years, I have read it frequently. I can just about recite the Articles, the first 12 Amendments. After that, I have to look them up.

There’s one in my room. It’s in the back of a high school US History textbook I never sold.

I’m sure it’s in that old set of encyclopedias.

Nowhere. A very long time ago, probably in HS civics.

I don’t have one and the last time I read it was in high school. When it becomes applicable to something more pertinent in my my life that requires me to read it (for an assignment or test etc), I’ll take another look.

Somewhere in the house is my college American Government book. The last time I looked at it was probably in the late 1980’s.

My brother has a copy of it, in a book that is just for that purpose, at his house. That might be a nifty gift for people this Christmas. I think most of my friends and relatives would love it.

Last time I read it through and through was in eleventh grade government class. It would be nice to have a copy of it handy, though.

You can get a copy of it, along with the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence all for $6.29 paperback. See it Here

In my son’s bedroom. He has a copy of it. Of course. lol

@Blondesjon You forgot Pogo.

@glacial . . . forgot ironic, creationistic fluff disguised as political satire? i think nawt.

i’m more of a bill the cat kinda of guy

@Jeruba Is there something wrong with a copy on a computer?

I have it in a book published by the Library of America, which I bought ten years ago or more. It is Debate on the Constitution in two volumes. I have read both thick volumes which contained much private correspondence of the founding fathers, many articles and other things from newspapers all around the country, and also the minutes of some of the debates in the individual state ratifying conventions.

I read the Constitution in full a few years ago, and I refer to articles and amendments as needed. I read the fourteenth amendment last week. I pulled it up at the US Archives website often link. It’s quick and easy. I look at that website often.

I have several copies of half pocket-size volumes. I forget who used to send them to me (annually, it seemed, for awhile), but it might have been the Reason magazine publishers as I renewed each year.

I also have it on a TiddlySpot website that I created, partly to practice my skills with TiddlyWiki and partly (mostly) because I wanted a copy always available for reference. I made that site earlier this year, so that was the last time that I read it, I guess. (Except that I actually have used the site for reference several times in the past couple of months, too.)

No, @Hawaii_Jake, there isn’t, only that anyone could fetch one up spontaneously and then say yes. If I asked “Who here owns a pair of mittens?” that would not mean I thought there was anything wrong with gloves. It just happens to be the way I defined my question.

I was also interested in where it might be physically stored. What prompted my question is that for some reason we currently have a copy on the kitchen table. There are probably half a dozen others in the home library, maybe more, in various books, including past years’ World Almanacs.

@Jeruba I do have gloves, multiple pairs in fact, even though I live in Southern California. I just love them. Will be getting some copies of the Constitution now, though. Now that you’ve lit that fire under my arse.

We have a beautiful, framed faux copy for all to see. Looks authentic right down to the signatures and the aged parchment it is printed on.

@ETpro, and…where in your house is it?

@Jeruba Well, it’s a weird house, but I guess you would call it our living room.

Nowhere. And I’ve never read it in its entirety.

Well, I have a copy of Ben Franklin’s “Poor Richard’s Almanac” by my computer. So there.

I have a copy of the Constitution alongside “The Federalist Papers” on the bookshelf next to my favorite chair. I have not read them end to end in a long time, but I have referred to it often, especially over the last ten years or so. If I am discussing something online (mostly here on Fluther), I am more inclined to refer to either of these publications digitally.
