Wow. An early draft of the Constitution was just found. How cool.

Unfortunately, it was found by a red diaper doper baby who shredded it and whom has just now accepted a professorial position at Princeton University to teach Constitutional History with full tenure...:D


Early draft of the Constitution found in Phila.

By Edward Colimore

Inquirer Staff Writer

Researcher Lorianne Updike Toler was intrigued by the centuries-old document at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

On the back of a treasured draft of the U.S. Constitution was a truncated version of the same document, starting with the familiar words: "We The People. . . ."

They had been scribbled upside down by one of the Constitution's framers, James Wilson, in the summer of 1787. The cursive continued, then abruptly stopped, as if pages were missing.
