I looked up "amendment" in my quiet comprehensive English-Swedish dictionary, and there were quite a few suggestions - including words I have never seen in Swedish before. Some of these words are on the line of "correction" as you suggest above. However, in the specific context of the US constitution, Swedish uses "tillägg" which matches exactly the process you describe above. That is "tillägg" is an addition of some sort. So from my perspective it is clear that the original text is retained with amendments added to it. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

It should be noted that most renditions of the Constitution indicate in some way the provisions that have been superseded. It may put them in a different font (italics, for example) or struck through or in parens. For example, this version ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/overview ) puts superseded clauses in hypertext links to the amendment that overrides them. Not all amendments supersede something in the original document or earlier amendments. The first ten, known as the Bill of Rights, do not. There's several others that don't as well. -- Dan Tilque |

If so, it should also be noted that such indications are unofficial. > Not all amendments supersede something in the original document or > earlier amendments. True. > The first ten, known as the Bill of Rights, do not. Well, the 1st Amendment limits the powers of Congress enumerated in Article I, Section 8, so to that extent it supersedes the two clauses that use the word "all". -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Let us knot coin gnu werds huitch msb@vex.net are spelld rong." -- Rik Fischer Smoody My text in this article is in the public domain. |
