This can be a textual representation of the pin cite (e.g., ``Article II'') or a common name (e.g., ``the Equal Protection Clause'').} {page}{The pin cite specification for the constitution part for this reference. Typically this will be a listing of named divisions: \texttt{article 1, S 8, clause 8}, for example.} } \optparameters{ {place, state}{The state from which this constitution originates, if not ``U.S\@.'' The place will be abbreviated using the \abbscheme{name} scheme.} {year}{The year of adoption, for superseded constitutions.

Nevertheless, the chosen format is puzzling. It puts ``The'' in front of the name, even though ``The'' is typically omitted from titles of statutes. (``The'' is not omitted from book titles that actually start with ``The,'' but the Declaration does not have an official title on its face.) It then puts ``U.S.'' in the date parenthetical. Putting aside the question of whether the United States existed at the time the Declaration was signed, it is unclear why the country is included in the parenthetical rather than as part of the title. Typically, that placement of a jurisdiction would identify a court or similar tribunal issuing a decision, but it is a stretch to say that the Declaration is an adjudicated result. If it is to identify the country issuing the Declaration to distinguish from other nations' declarations of independence, then ``U.S.'' ought to be added in a separate parenthetical based on the usual rule for foreign materials. The best interpretation perhaps is that the Declaration is being cited as a book, explaining the superfluous ``The,'' and that the United States is being identified as the publisher of a pre-1900 work---a strange approach for many reasons.} Mainly, this form provides a flexible citation container that sets the given title in the same font as that for constitutions. \keyparameters{ {name}{The name of the document.} } \optparameters{ {year}{The relevant year of the document.} } \pagejoining % % \hi@newcite{federalist}{A Federalist paper}{other}{% % TODO: add editor info \hi@newcite@form{fc}{#1}{% \hi@citeguts{% \hi@fn@booktitle{\hi@book@the Federalist No.~\hi@kv@number}% \space(\hi@kv@author)% }% } \protected@edef\reserved@a{% {\noexpand\hi@fn@booktitle{The Federalist No.~\hi@kv@number}}% } \@expand{\hi@supra@form{#1}}\reserved@a i% } %<*doc> \keyparameters{ {number}{The number of the paper.} } \optparameters{ {author}{The author of the paper.} } % %
