Edit: as pointed out in a comment below, the official cause is coding error
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.
@silence7 they claim it’s a coding error, but maybe it’s a deliberate coding error?
Or maybe they just wanted to update the “explanation” part of those sections, but doing so being the build.
How can it possibly be a coding error? It’s just a wall of text, simple html/css.
@AlphaOmega
It’s not just that – it has markup explanations/comments.
Imagine if someone was told to change the explanation of those particular sections – they could totally have made some change that accidentally made those parts unrendered.
Some static site generators silently drop template sections that have errors, for example.
Of course, this theory still requires that someone told someone to change what those sections say, which seems plausible enough…
Accident isnt impossible, and I’ll be really surprised if we get a definitive answer
Hard to buy the idea that they accidentally removed the exact same parts from the page containing the full copy, the page containing just Article 1, and the links to said parts.
Like, that’s a pretty unlikely coincidence if it was just an accident…
