The Constitution is parchment
kiafaldorius Updated - 23rd Jul 2008
Sorry, polyethylenedioxythiophene but that is a myth. Even though hemp was the industrial fiber for paper of the time, the Constitution (and Declaration of Independence) was written on parchment. And parchment was made from treated animal skin (usually sheep).

Please do not continue to perpetrate the myth. Thank you
