Pre-Listening Vocabulary
 
US Constitution: document of rules and principles for governing in the US
glaring: very noticeable
inconsistent: not the same throughout
variation: a different version
raise eyebrows1: to cause people to feel surprised or concerned
 
According to the history books, the final preparation of the text for the US Constitution (signed Sept 17, 1787) was a bit rushed. The most glaring 【 】
 is the inconsistent spelling of the word Pennsylvania. This word appears with two n’s first and later with one n.  【 】
 the one n spelling was common at the time (it appears on the Liberty Bell), it was an error since Pennsylvania was named after 【 】
 founder William Penn. In addition, the Constitution uses the spelling c-h-u-s-e for choose, which was also a non-standard variation of the word at the time. Finally, in Article I, Section 10, the  【 】
 form its is incorrectly written as the contraction2 it’s (before inspection3 Laws). These 【 】
 inconsistencies and errors likely didn’t raise any eyebrows in the late 1700s.
