delaware's copy of the constitution to return

Delaware's copy of the constitution of the United States will be making a return to Delaware in December of 2003, when it will be displayed in the renovated state archives building. Each of the original 13 states had a copy so that they could meet with their legislatures, and decide which of the original 12 amendments to the constitution they wanted to ratify. Delaware was the only state to actually mark upon their copy which amendments they accepted. The federal government is retaining ownership rights over the document because it is legal proof that the constitution was ratified, and will be "loaning" the copy to the state. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to see it.
