How these addresses work

Each provision's address is its citation lower-cased with the punctuation dropped and the words joined by hyphens, and it reverses the same way: Art. I, Sec. I, Para. I is /constitution/ga/art-i-sec-i-para-i, Amend. XIV is /constitution/us/amend-xiv, and the preamble is /constitution/ga/preamble. A citation typed in place of the address works too.
