Taking ‘a Chronological Romp’ Through State Constitutions

"The foreword for the catalog for “Colonists, Citizens, Constitutions” was written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court, who died in September.

The exhibition also demonstrates that the road to perfection is not necessarily linear." - Exhibition review, The New York Times
