I have to cite the Bill of Rights in my English paper, but I don't know how to do it using MLA format. I figured the literary genius of Hatrack could help me.

So, literary geniuses, how does one go about citing the Bill of Rights?

Well, it says here in my MLA book (yes, I do have one), that for a Legal or Historical Source (which is the closest thing I could fine) you "cite the section of a familiar historical document, such as the Constitution, in parentheses in your text (US Const., art. 2, sec. 4), with no entry in your works-cited list."

That's what I have. I hope it helps.
