• "We the People," beautifully engrossed by Jacob Shallus on the first page of the Constitution, has become a symbol of who we are as Americans. Here with a quill pen and ink pot and a design that includes 13 stars representing the original colonies, this replica of the document in miniature is an exclusive ornament and a beautifully stunning piece that deserves to be displayed all year round.

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution originally consisted of seven Articles. The first three Articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislature, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
