government documents/MLA format
Government Documents:
References to government documents vary in their required elements. In general, if you do not know the writer of the document, cite as author the government agency that issued it.
State document:

New York State. Commission on Capital Punishment. Report of the Commission to Investigate and Report the Most Humane and Practical Method of Carrying Into Effect the Sentence of Death in Capital Cases. Albany: Troy Press, 1888.

Federal document:

United States. Cong. Senate. Committee on Governmental Affairs. The Future of the Independent Counsel Act. Hearings 106th Cong., 1st sess. Washington: GPO, 1999.

Note: A parenthetical reference to a familiar historical document -- i.e., the United States Constitution -- no longer requires a corresponding entry in the Works Cited list.

Answer 2

I would ask your teacher but generally,
" Familiar Historical Documents such as the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and the US Code
These documents do not need to be included in the works cited list. They can be documented with parenthetical text citations: (US Const., art.1, sec. 1); (17 USC 304, 1976)."
