For the first time ever, the National Archives displayed the entire U.S. Constitution - the historic 4 foundational pages. the rarely seen “5th page” with its own interesting backstory and ALL 27 amendments. Now, the exhibit remains behind closed doors, along with the rest of the museum, as the government shutdown continues into historic territory in Washington D.C.
