Coding error blamed after parts of Constitution disappear from US website | US restores deleted portions after people noticed the Constitution had shrunk


US restores deleted portions after people noticed the Constitution had shrunk.

The deletions were being discussed this morning on Reddit and in newsarticles, with people expressing suspicions based on which parts of the Constitution were missing. One deleted bit contains authorization for Congress to provide and maintain a Navy, and to call forth a "Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions." Of course, the Constitution can't be changed by simply deleting passages from a government website, but the error temporarily made it more difficult for people to look up parts of the founding document.
