Here are three ways to look through the Constitution, courtesy of the Library of Congress:
Back to topThe U.S. Code is made up of laws passed by the U.S. Congress. Below are some external resources for finding sections of the U.S. Code.
If you already know which Title and Section of the U.S. Code you want to retrieve, fill in the following boxes. (Example: If you are looking for 42 USC 1395, fill in Title 42, Section 1395)

Go to Thomas to find bills that have not yet become laws and recent laws (called "Public Laws") that have been approved by Congress and signed by the President, but are not yet included in the U.S. Code. Thomas includes the text of all versions of House and Senate bills and the Congressional Record (the "minutes" of Congressional hearings).
Back to topFederal Regulations are rules made by federal agencies and executive departments. Below are some external resources for finding Federal Regulations.
If you already know which Section or Subpart of the CFR you want to retrieve, fill in the following boxes. Choose a revision year (you probably want to leave the scroll box at "Most Recent Available") and then add the CFR Title and Part. In addition, you must fill in EITHER a Section number or a Subpart letter, but not both.
Example: If you are looking for 42 CFR 413.1, fill in Title 42, Part 413, Section 1; if you are looking for the entire Subpart A of 42 CFR 413, fill in Title 42, Part 413, Subpart A.
You may also find these links helpful:
Go to the Federal Register on GPO Access to find rules that have not yet been added to the CFR and/or finalized by federal agencies or executive departments. The Federal Register publishes all Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices made by Federal agencies and organizations, as well as Executive Orders and other Presidential Documents.
