Citations are always a bit complicated, since they change depending on what source you're getting your information from. The U.S. Constitution is a special case because it a common document that can be found a variety of places. Therefore, you don't need as much information as you might need for other sources. Nonetheless, the citation will be different depending on what style guidelines you're using, such as American Psychological Association (APA) style, the Modern Language Association (MLA) style, or Chicago style. Your teacher should tell you which style to use.
