Sections on habeas corpus and nobility titles were temporarily removed from Congress' US Constitution website

The article reports that key sections of the U.S. Constitution, including provisions on habeas corpus (due process) and the prohibition of nobility titles, were temporarily removed from the Library of Congress' website. The edits were first noticed by users on the Lemmy forums and were later reported by 404 Media. The Library of Congress acknowledged the issue, stating that it was due to a coding error and that they were working to correct it. The website has since been restored to its original state. The article notes that the Trump administration has previously removed text from government websites, including terms like "activism," "disability," "equality," and "women." While the removal of the constitutional provisions does not change the legally binding document, it raises concerns about the integrity of official government websites and the potential motives behind such edits.
