Charters of Freedom

If you've never read these documents, you're missing one of the crowning acheivements of the 18th century. Authored by a band of rebels, and treasured ever since as the embodiment of concepts held dear by free peoples, our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are amazing testaments to our desire for peace and prosperity.

Here, courtesy of your tax dollars, are excellent high-resolution copies of these documents, along with transcripts and all the amendments. Excellent work by the National Archives.
