The Declaration of Independence

Section 1. The Congress shall have power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age.

Section 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this article except that the operation of State laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
