 ’s historic constitutions. The Museum of the Albemarle\, a part of the D

 to redefine the meaning of citizenship in North Carolina and who could par
 ticipate in the political process. The exhibit features the 1776 State Con
 stitution and Declaration of Rights\, the 1868 State Constitution\, and a 
 letter from John Adams commonly known as “Thoughts on Government.” The
  exhibit also includes archivists from the State Archives of North Carolin
 a who will accompany the materials and interact with visitors.\n\n \n\nAme
