[quote:The_Smilist:MV8zOTA3OTQ1XzcwNDYzODMxX0Q1MDM4QTI=] [quote:Jillian Snark:MV8zOTA3OTQ1X0UzNDU1OUFB] The Constitution of the United States is only 4543 words—7762 if you count the Amendments—and originally fit on just four large sheets of paper. But it packs a wallop. Not only is it the oldest written national constitution in the world, it's arguably the most influential in the world, too. And it only cost $30 ($900 today) to write it! [Item #7] http://mentalfloss.com/article/553604/facts-about-us-constitution [/quote] stupid, the article ignores the FACT that it was WRITTEN in FRENCH first and foremost! Then translated. :quebecqc: [/quote]
