The National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C., houses some of the country’s most important documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. This past spring, the museum got a “new” addition: a 232-year-old copy of the Bill of Rights.
Created to protect certain freedoms, the Bill of Rights is made up of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. But this early version includes 12 proposed amendments. The rare document is on display only until October 21, but this copy is yours to keep.
