Pages from the record, as printed
The Primary Source Series publishes the founding documents of American public life in full, as they were written. We don't summarize them, interpret them or argue with them. That work belongs to the reader.
Every document opens with a short headnote giving its date, its author or issuing body, and its subject. The text follows in full, in its original spelling, with numbered paragraphs so any passage can be cited exactly.
