What We Do

Is It Constitutional? is an AI-powered tool that analyzes laws, bills, and legal questions against the U.S. Constitution. Submit any text—from a proposed city ordinance to a federal regulation—and receive a detailed analysis of its constitutional standing.

Our analysis considers:

• The full text of the U.S. Constitution — Including its structure, history, and meaning
• The Bill of Rights — Fundamental protections in Amendments I through X
• Supreme Court precedent — Key decisions that shape constitutional interpretation, including District of Columbia v. Heller, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and other landmark cases

Our Methodology

We analyze laws against the Constitution's text, structure, and history, informed by how courts have interpreted and applied its provisions over time.

• Acknowledges areas of genuine legal debate

Important Disclaimers

Why We Built This

Constitutional literacy shouldn't require a law degree. The Constitution belongs to all Americans, and understanding whether a law respects its limits is fundamental to civic participation.

Too often, unconstitutional laws are passed, challenged, and struck down—costing taxpayers millions in legal fees while rights hang in the balance for years. We believe earlier, broader access to constitutional analysis can help citizens and lawmakers alike make more informed decisions.
