Bring the scent of Freedom to your home. Reminding us of the wide open ocean, our Freedom Candle is inspired by the Freedoms promised to us in the Bill of Rights. The image on the candle is an excerpt of the original Bill of Rights, held in trust for the people of the United States by the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The thick-walled glass tumbler style jar holds 10 ounces of soy wax.

On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution. Ten of the 12 were ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures on December 15, 1791. The ratified Articles constitute the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, also known as the U.S. Bill of Rights. Over the years, the Constitution has been amended an additional 17 times. In 1992, 203 years after it was proposed, Article 2 of the original Bill of Rights was ratified as the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. There have been numerous suggestions for new amendments since 1992, but none have been enacted into law.

The original 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the amendments is on display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum.
