The U.S. Constitution, in its entirety, is being publicly unveiled by the National Archives for the very first time – this includes the seldom-viewed fifth page.
Next year, the New York Public Library will display a handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, while this year, Philadelphia's Museum of the American Revolution will open a new exhibition on the Declaration of Independence. However, the most anticipated event is taking place at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where a unique exhibition is showcasing the full U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in celebration of America's 250th anniversary.
The Constitution, typically displayed with only four pages, is being shown in its entirety for this special occasion. This marks the first time all five pages, along with the Bill of Rights and all the amendments, are being exhibited together. The exhibit includes the rarely displayed "fifth page" of the Constitution, which outlines a set of instructions to the States on how to implement the Constitution.
The fifth page was not signed by individuals in the Rotunda of the National Archives, where the Constitution is usually displayed. Instead, it was signed by the delegates at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, in Philadelphia. The Declaration of Independence, a significant historical document related to America's founding and independence, is also part of the exhibition.
To manage the expected crowds, timed-entry reservations are recommended online. While the exhibit is free to visit and tickets are not required, long wait times are expected. To further enhance the visitor experience, the National Archives has opened a new, permanent exhibit called "The American Story." This exhibit allows guests to use artificial intelligence to explore various records.
The United States was founded on July 4, 1776, with the ratification of the Declaration of Independence. This exhibition serves as a reminder of the importance of these foundational documents and the rights they afford to Americans. The exhibit is taking place at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., as part of the celebration of America's upcoming 250th anniversary.
