Abstract:

As one of the original states, North Carolina can claim rightful ownership of an original copy of the Bill of Rights. Individuals such as former state governor, state archivist, and National Constitution Center CEO reveal the battle to get this copy from the Midwestern family who’d had it since the end of the Civil War.
