Explore two significant heirlooms of our constitutional heritage: the first public printing and the signed, handwritten Constitution.
The National Constitution Center owns a rare, original copy of the first public printing of the Constitution. The Constitutional Convention was conducted under an oath of secrecy, so this printing represents the first time Americans saw the Constitution.
The signed, handwritten Constitution is at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. It was signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
