   The present shrine provides an imposing home. The priceless documents   
   stand at the center of a semicircle of display cases showing other   
   important records of the growth of the United States. The Declaration,   
   the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights stand slightly elevated,   
   under armed guard, in their bronze and marble shrine.
