This is not the US constitution; it used to be, but Article I, part of section 8, & all of sections 9 & 10 have been removed (constitution.congress.gov)

Compare with the original, from a few weeks back

Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.

Section 9 had, among other things:

  • Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
  • a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)

Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.

All of 9 and 10 should be bolded too.

Because 9 and 10 were entirely removed and not partially, I didn't see the need to differentiate, but yeah, bolded for clarity.
