National Archives, Washington DC (August, 2004)

 
These are THE documents.  The ones finally drafted and signed by all the delegates.  They aren't copies of any sort.  They ARE the original pieces of paper signed over 225 years ago with quill pens and ink.

They are the ideas and struggles of men who setup the ingenious system that has allowed our country to become the most successful in history.

Nearly everything you cherish in your life was created and has been sustained through these documents.  "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Not to get too gushy about these documents but the fact that they have been preserved through time, through wars, through changes is simply amazing.
