Mr. Henderson, what were
the other two articles?
Article the First sets the number of representatives to at one for every thirty thousand until there is attained a total of 100 representatives, etc., etc.
Article the Second (which has, some two hundred years belatedly, become the Twenty Seventh Amendment upon its ratification by a sufficient number of States) (but see any humorous argument to the contrary the Professor Paulsen might offer) prevented present Congresses from increasing their compensation by interposing a subsequent House of Representatives election.
These appear at the top of the Bill of Rights. Article the Second appears at the bottom of the Amendments to the Constitution, being the last word of the people and the States on how the Constitution should be read.
I can't explain why you cannot see them. They appear plainly in the image files. The transcription offered by the Library of Congress, however, only reports the preamble and the texts of articles three through twelve (our first ten amendments).
