A collector’s edition of the key founding documents of the United States, distinctively packaged as a deluxe hardcover edition with specially curated inserts throughout.

This exquisitely designed volume collects the U.S. Constitution and other selected foundational American documents instrumental to the creation and defining philosophy of the United States, including the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers, and Thomas Paine’s fiery call to action, Common Sense. Together, these texts trace the progress of American democracy, from a hard-won independence from Britain to the establishment of the supreme law of the land.

This edition will also include 10 tracing paper envelopes, each containing a 4-color paper replica of letters, documents, and other ephemera related to the course of early U.S. history sealed inside:

1. The Constitution of the United States
2. The Declaration of Independence
3. The Bill of Rights
4. The Emancipation Proclamation
5. The Declaration of Sentiments
6. Map of the original 13 colonies
7. Colonial banknotes
8. Sheet music for “The Star-Spangled Banner”
