That’s true, like I just wrote in another post I’ve seen the Magna Carta twice, but haven’t seen my own nation’s Constitution in person. However, the US constitution is well over a thousand miles away, nobody in England has that excuse. I would be willing to bet that if the U.S. Constitution was put on a traveling museum exhibit, tons of people would come and see it. If I didn’t have to travel to our “National Cesspit” to go see the Constitution, I probably would have seen it by now.
I saw the Magna Carta when it was here in Houston; took my children, too.
I have replicas of the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the original 12 Amendments for the Constitution I purchased in DC in 1999/2000.
When I explained to my wife that these were the original amendments, and that the first two were not ratified at the same time as the other ten (IIRC, the first one was ratified much much later, but the 2nd never has been), and those 10 became the Bill of Rights. That’s why on my replica the Freedom of Speech, free exercise of religion, etc. is #3, and the right to bear arms is #4. She didn’t believe me. And she’s “educated” with three degrees. Me? Heck, I’ve taken 1 class in college (Spanish), and failed it.
Don't bother. I went to see it (I traveled to DC many times between 1990 and 1994,) and you would do better to buy and frame a facsimile of it.
At the National Archives what you ger to see is an optical image of it, sort of looking through a view camera or a regular camera viewfinder.
