The Day a Sophomore Changed the Constitution Every now and then, American history produces a story that feels less like history and more like a clerical error that nobody noticed in time.

The Day a Sophomore Changed the Constitution Every so often, America produces one of those stories you’d swear has to be made up — the kind that starts small, weird, and unimportant… and somehow ends with the Constitution being rewritten.

Harvard Law School’s HLS MS 172—a stained, faded manuscript acquired in 1946 for less than $30—has been authenticated as a 1300 Magna Carta edition under King Edward I, one of only 7 surviving copies.
