Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Page 1, John Carter print layout of 1787; font Adobe Caslon Pro 14pt, character spacing +0.7pt on average, kerning 14pt and above, indentation 8pt LEX (Latin for law); line height 1.5; poster size 1687x3462 pixels; match with a Polish translation poster. The text does not re-invent the Constitution. It combines the parchment and John Carter print, and brings the form to the standard of today; it yet takes all the language uses from the Constitution itself.
Date oryg. text: 1787-09-17, translation: 2017-08-26
