Enumeration halisi zitafanywa ndani ya miaka mitatu baada ya Mkutano wa kwanza wa Congress ya Marekani, na ndani ya kila Muda baadae ya Miaka kumi, katika vile namna kama wao watakuwa na Sheria kuelekeza. Idadi ya Wawakilishi haizidi moja kwa kila elfu thelathini, lakini kila Jimbo litakuwa na Mwakilishi Mmoja aliye chini; na hadi uwekaji wa maandishi kama haya, Jimbo la New Hampshire litakuwa na haki ya kutunza tatu, Massachusetts nane, Rhode-Island na mimea ya Providence moja, Connecticut tano, New-York sita, New Jersey nne, Pennsylvania nane, Delland. sita, Virginia kumi, North Carolina tano, North South tano, na Georgia tatu.

Sehemu. 3.	Section. 3.
Baraza la Seneti la Merika litaundwa na Maseneta wawili kutoka kila Jimbo, waliochaguliwa na Bunge lake kwa miaka sita; na kila seneta atakuwa na Kura moja.	The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
Mara tu baada ya kukusanywa katika Matokeo ya Uchaguzi wa kwanza, watagawanywa kwa usawa kama inavyoweza kuwa katika Madarasa matatu. Viti vya Maseneta wa Darasa la kwanza vitatengwa kwa Kumalizika kwa Mwaka wa pili, cha Hatari ya pili wakati wa kumaliza Mwaka wa nne, na Kidato cha tatu katika Kumalizika kwa Mwaka wa sita, ili theluthi moja kuchaguliwa kila mwaka wa pili; na ikiwa nafasi za kazi zinajitokeza kwa kujiuzulu, au vinginevyo, wakati wa mapumziko ya Bunge la Nchi yoyote, Mtendaji wake anaweza kufanya Uteuzi wa muda hadi Mkutano ujao wa Bunge, ambao baadaye utajaza nafasi hizo.	Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.

When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Hukumu katika Kesi za Unyanyasaji haitaongeza zaidi kuliko kuondolewa kutoka Ofisi, na kutofaulu kushikilia na kufurahiya Ofisi yoyote ya Heshima, Uaminifu au Faida iliyo chini ya Merika: lakini Chama hicho ambacho kilipatikana na hatia hata hivyo kitastahili kuhusika na Shtaka, Shtaka, Hukumu na Puni shment, kulingana na Sheria.

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Hakuna seneta au mwakilishi ambaye, wakati wa kuchaguliwa kwake, atateuliwa kwa Ofisi yoyote ya kiraia chini ya Mamlaka ya Merika, ambayo itakuwa imeundwa, au Kumbukumbu ambayo itakuwa imejumuishwa wakati huo; na hakuna Mtu anayeshikilia Ofisi yoyote chini ya Merika, atakuwa Mwanachama wa Nyumba yoyote ya kuendelea na mwendelezo wake katika Ofisi.	No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
Sehemu. 7.	Section. 7.
Miswada yote ya kuongeza Mapato yatatoka katika Baraza la Wawakilishi; lakini Seneti inaweza kupendekeza au kukubaliana na Marekebisho kama ilivyo kwa Miswada mingine.	All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
Kila Muswada ambao utakuwa umepitisha Baraza la Wawakilishi na Seneti, kabla ya kuwa Sheria, utawasilishwa kwa Rais wa Merika; Ikiwa atakubali ataitia saini, lakini ikiwa sio yeye atayirudisha, pamoja na Makataa yake kwa Nyumba hiyo ambayo itakuwa imetoka, ni nani atakayeingia kwenye Maagizo kwa jumla kwenye Jarida lao, na aangalie tena. Ikiwa baada ya kufikiria tena theluthi mbili ya Nyumba hiyo itakubali kupitisha Muswada huo , itatumwa pamoja na Makataa, kwa Nyumba nyingine, ambayo nayo itafikiriwa tena, na ikiwa imeidhinishwa na theluthi mbili ya Nyumba hiyo, itakuwa sheria. Lakini katika visa vyote hivyo Kura za Nyumba zote mbili zitaamuliwa na ndio na Nusu, na Majina ya Wananchi waliopigia kura na dhidi ya Mswada huo wataingizwa kwenye Jarida la kila Nyumba kwa mtiririko huo. Ikiwa Muswada wowote hautarudishwa na Rais kati ya Siku kumi (Jumapili isipokuwa) baada ya kuwasilishwa kwake, Sheria hiyo itakuwa Sheria, kama Manner kana kwamba ameitia saini, isipokuwa Bunge na Maagizo yao litazuia.

If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.

If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
Kila Agizo, Azimio, au Kura ambayo Maafikiano ya Seneti na Baraza la Wawakilishi linaweza kuwa muhimu (isipokuwa juu ya swali la kuamuru) itawasilishwa kwa Rais wa Merika; na kabla ya hiyo hiyo kuchukua athari, itapitishwa na yeye, au kukataliwa na yeye, italipwa na theluthi mbili ya Seneti na Baraza la Wawakilishi, kulingana na Sheria na Mapungufu yaliyoainishwa katika kesi ya Muswada huo.

The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President.
