Description
Summary:	"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a.....zine?! Yep, that's right. The United States Constitution and Amendments, Redacted contains the text of the redacted volume from Three Constitutions printed on four newsprint broadsides. Each broadside measures 22.75 x 28 inches when unfolded, roughly the size of the parchments on which the original Constitution manuscript was written in 1787 ... The broadsides are shipped in a printed manila envelope that is reinforced with a thin chipboard insert. They will likely get a little bent up, which seems only fitting."--Artist's website, viewed June 23, 2021.
