There is no paywall, no account, and no authentication on any text surface: any crawler, agent or person can read the full corpus. Every provision page is server-rendered HTML, so the text is present in the initial response with no JavaScript execution required. Corpus as of this response: 9 jurisdictions, 302 indexed passages. ## Where the authoritative content lives - Provision page (the citation unit, verbatim text): https://www.portablelaw.com/provision/{sectionId} - Constitution / jurisdiction page: https://www.portablelaw.com/countries/{countryId} - Full list of every indexed provision: https://www.portablelaw.com/sitemap.xml - Machine-readable corpus digest (counts + every provision URL): https://www.portablelaw.com/llms-full.txt Provision and country pages accept `Accept: text/markdown` and return the same content as markdown, with the full verbatim text in a fenced block. HTML is returned when the client does not prefer markdown, so a normal browser is unaffected. ## Jurisdictions - [Constitution of Brazil](https://www.portablelaw.com/countries/561c3433-2160-4ca0-8e5a-8f5e9dbd522c) — BR, 37 indexed passages (broadly indexed).

The canonical URL is stable and is the correct target for a citation; `#section-` fragments on a country page are not. ## What is not here - This file is an index. The provision text is not duplicated here; fetch the provision URL. - Structural metadata is reproduced exactly as the upstream index stores it. Article numbers are absent for many passages, and some index rows contain a whole chapter rather than a single provision. Where that is the case the page says so rather than guessing a number. Never infer an article number that the page does not state. - The plain-language "what this means" block on each provision page is generated mechanically from the words in the text. It is a reading aid, not legal advice. ## Optional - Ask a question in plain language: https://www.portablelaw.com/ask - Search the corpus: https://www.portablelaw.com/search
