Appendix A

Citizen's draft. Appendix A states that these eight amendments are not law, have not been introduced or ratified, and have not been reviewed by legislative or constitutional counsel. The explorer preserves the proposed constitutional text from the first edition and separates it from explanatory notes and objections.
