Blog post #3 -- The National Archives/The Constitution and Declaration of Independence




What do they look like?
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are old, fragile documents. They are a bit frayed but are very well preserved.
 
Where are they housed?
They are strictly preserved in the National Archives building, where other original documents are also preserved.

Why are they important?
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are important because they are the building blocks of the nation. If it weren't for the Declaration of Independence, we would've been a part of Great Britain and there wouldn't have been a constitution.

How did you find them? 
I found them in the National Archives building.

Who is in charge of preserving them?
There are security guards that are in charge of keeping the documents safe.

What do they represent to our society and our posterity?
I think it brings us together even more. There are many flaws with society and the constitution is constantly brought up to fix that.
