• Product Description

• Offered here as a bundle, these lightweight socks will give you something to think about each day as you put your outfit together. Sold as a collection of socks that celebrates each of our founding documents, they make a great gift for historians, patriots and everyone who has a sock drawer. They are also available as individual pairs of Declaration of Independence , U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights socks.

Known collectively as the Charters of Freedom, the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are instrumental to the founding of the United States and its enduring identity and philosophy. These three documents declared the colonies’ freedom and independence, established the federal government, and enshrined the rights of the American people forever.

On December 13, 1952, the Charters of Freedom were permanently relocated from the Library of Congress to the National Archives in a procession of tanks in an armored personnel carrier. Upon arrival, the documents were placed in a custom-built, 50-ton, steel and concrete, bomb- and fire-proof safe.

The Charters of Freedom are on permanent display in the Rotunda of the National Archives Building.
