SUMMARY: A rare 237-year-old copy of the U.S. Constitution is being auctioned in North Carolina, with a minimum bid of $1 million already placed. This unique document, one of about 100 printed by Charles Thomson after the Constitutional Convention, is believed to be the only one in private hands; the rest are publicly owned.

Previous sales of similar documents have set high records, with one selling for $43.2 million in 2021.

A three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit Court overturned an earlier ruling in favor of the state. The outcome could affect similar laws in other states. The case does not impact Mississippi’s current local elections.
