Entire US Constitution on display in DC for first time ever

For the first time in history, the complete U.S. Constitution is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., as the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary. FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez was granted access inside the Archives for a first glimpse of the exhibit.

The Constitution of the United States will make history once again as the public gets the chance to see the foundational artifact like never before.

What we know:

The entire U.S. Constitution will be on display at the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C., for two weeks.

The public can view the special display in the Rotunda starting from Tuesday, September 16, through Wednesday, October 1.

Dig deeper:

The original four-page Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights are always available for public viewing at the National Archives.

However, this two-week display will also include all 27 Constitutional amendments and the rarely displayed "fifth page" of the Constitution signed by George Washington.

It will mark Constitution Day on September 17, and join in the celebration of the United States 250th anniversary.
