This section of American Genesis contains the full text of all constitutional quotes from the book, within their context.

Many of the quotes presented here were not included in the main body of the study. They may however, provide great insight when noting the subtle shades of difference used by the Founders of each state when addressing identical topics and liberties. Most interesting is the shear volume of religious references and principles that were incorporated into American's founding documents. Additionally, many of the writers of these documents helped frame the federal government.

You can use the standard menu on the right of this page to view quotes alphabetically by state. The category selections below allow you to view by state in the year of the constitution's adoption the quote appears in. You can also read the quotes comparatively on profiled subjects.
