Constituting Liberty: From the Declaration to the Bill of Rights

The National Constitution Center is proud to display a first edition Stone Engraving of the Declaration of Independence, a rare copy of the first public printing of the U.S. Constitution, and a reproduction of one of the 12 surviving copies of the Bill of Rights. The original Bill of Rights, which was exhibited at the Center between 2014 and 2017, is now at The New York Public Library. It will be displayed on a rotating basis to the public in both Pennsylvania and New York for the next 100 years.
