"Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire."

The Constitution of the United States
1787 to …
Establishing new governments “on wise and lasting principles, is the greatest work the mind of man can undertake.”
—Francis Lightfoot Lee, 1776
The Constitution of the United States gets to the point quickly. “We the people of the United States…” it begins, “… do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” In the first few words, it accepts the “great essential” that free governments rest upon the consent of the governed and that they exist to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.”
Beyond the Preamble, the Constitution provides solutions to the dilemma of power that are very different from those contained in the Articles of Confederation. Many Americans felt frustrated by the severe limits the Articles imposed. The federal government could not levy taxes, raise an army, or even enforce its laws. With change nearly impossible, with important responsibilities unaddressed, a new approach appeared to be necessary. Once again responding to the times, the Founders, via the Constitutional Convention, reshaped the tools needed to govern with the “great essentials.”
Under the Constitution, the national government protects our rights and independence. There is a president and federal courts. Precisely because power is carefully separated among these branches of government, and because each branch attracts and balances the others, this government wields great authority. The national government still controls international affairs, but now it can levy taxes and regulate interstate commerce as well. There is even language that suggests “implied” powers not specifically listed.
In fact, the wisdom of this constitution lay not only in the allocation of actual authority, but also in its flexibility. “In framing a system which we wish to last for ages,” wrote James Madison, “we should not lose sight of the changes that ages will produce.” As a result, the Constitution’s amendments catalog social change, like the abolition of slavery and voting rights for women.
George Washington contributed in many ways to the creation of the United States. We remember and memorialize him as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and as first President of the United States. He stands atop the national honor role as a man who was “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”
Yet the copy of the Constitution of the United States contained in the park’s collection captures Washington in a less elevated role. In the final minutes of the Constitutional Convention, and a moment of mundane yet politically critical “housekeeping,” the distinguished national hero who had presided over the convention with firm objectivity and even aloofness took pen in hand and changed a typographical error in the draft document.
As the ink dried, Washington handed this printer’s proof to a waiting courier who hurried to the printshop of Dunlop and Claypoole. Later that same day, on September 17, 1787, a corrected Constitution was on the stagecoach bound for New York City where the Continental Congress was in session. 10 days later, the Congress formally asked each state to consider ratification of this second national Constitution. By June 1788, the required nine states had approved and the gears of the new government gradually began to turn. Elected president, Washington eventually followed the Constitution to New York where he took the oath of office on April 30, 1789.
In 1964, the park purchased this unique version of the Constitution using privately donated funds. On the 10th line of page 4, Washington’s notation changed the date “one thousand seven hundred and eight” to read “one thousand eight hundred and eight,” the first year that Congress could take action on the slave trade.
Signing the Constitution of the United States
September 17, 1787
In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names.
At the very moment of triumph, discontent threatened to unravel the compromises crafted carefully over four months’ time. As the majority of the Constitutional Convention struggled to achieve unanimity, some members resisted. Even a plea from the elder statesman, Benjamin Franklin, failed to convince three doubtful delegates to “witness” the final draft of the Constitution. The other thirty-nine, however, laid aside their personal fears, sign the document, and enlisted in the struggle for ratification that began immediately.
With all its faults, the moment this plan goes forth all other considerations will be laid aside, and the great question will be, shall there be a national Government or not?
—Gouverneur Morris, 1787
No man’s ideas are more remote from the plan than my own are known to be. But is it possible to deliberate between anarchy and convulsion on one side, and the chance of good to be expected from the plan on the other?
—Alexander Hamilton, September 17, 1787
We have… Done our best and it [the Constitution] must take its chance.
—Benjamin Franklin, 1787

"This statue is a lasting tribute to the values that Dr King stood for and a unique record of one of the most significant moments in the University’s history".
Professor Eric Cross, Newcastle University's Dean of Cultural Affairs.
The two-metre-tall bronze statue of Martin Luther King Jr, situated in the inner courtyard of the Armstrong Building, was erected in 2017 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Dr King’s visit to Newcastle to accept an honorary degree. It stands in the King’s Quad, next to King’s Hall, the setting for Dr King’s honorary degree ceremony in 1967. The statue now forms a focal point of the procession route that students at the University take at the end of their graduation ceremony. The first major art commission by the University since 1962, the statue was unveiled by Ambassador Andrew Young, a close friend and colleague of Dr King who accompanied him to Newcastle in 1967. The base of the statue is encircled by bronze lettering inset into Caithness paving, featuring text taken from the civil rights leader’s powerful acceptance speech in which he spoke of the ‘three urgent and grave problems’ facing the world: war, poverty and racism. It was Dr King’s last public address outside the US before he was assassinated, barely six months later. The statue was created by sculptor Nigel Boonham who spent months researching Dr King before deciding on the statue’s final pose, which he described as, “Dr King standing firm with legs apart, holding his hat and leaning back slightly. It appeared to me that Dr King was braced for whatever came his way.” The statue’s installation and unveiling were significant milestones in Freedom City 2017, a year-long city-wide programme of events which commemorated the anniversary of Dr King’s visit to Newcastle.
