Seeing as how this is Hacker News, I thought this was going to be about how the constitution contains non printable characters or something.

I was expecting a saved picture of their constitution that somehow triggered a counterfeit deterrence system on a govt printer.
I thought the same! Some non-English writing, perhaps native Indian writing or something was stuck in the physical books. Nope, just omitted legal text.
Yeah, IMHO title should probably be has unprinted sections, not unprintable sections
Or rather “not officially printed”. I’m sure some lawyer somewhere has printed them.
The title is a little misleading: the sections are not "unprintable" due to technical reasons, they are just currently not printed because the constitution itself says they shouldn't be printed...
Toss in some ANSII color escape sequences, perhaps!
