As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.
A copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

ON THIS DAY IN Royal HISTORY . 30 May 1842 . John Francis tried to assassinate the Queen. . . ◼ On 29 May 1842, Queen Victoria was riding in a carriage along The Mall, London, when John Francis aimed a pistol at her but the gun did not fire; he escaped. . ◼ The following day 30 May, Victoria drove the same route, though faster & with a greater escort, in a deliberate attempt to provoke Francis to take a second aim and catch him in the act. . ◼ Standing on Constitution Hill with a flintlock pistol, Francis waited for Victoria & Prince Albert to return from a carriage ride through London’s parks. . ◼ As expected, Francis shot at her, but he was seized by plain clothes policemen, & convicted of high treason. On 3 July, two days after Francis’s death sentence was commuted to transportation for life. . ◼ The decision to ride was entirely down to the Queen, as was the decision to ride the next day among a crowd of thousands clamouring to congratulate her. . . ◼ There were at least seven recorded assassination attempts on Queen Victoria’s life. . . #OnThisDayInHistory #thisdayinhistory #History #AssasinationAttempt #QueenVictoria #houseofhanover #TheMall #JohnFrancis #ConstitutionHill #BritishMonarchy #PrinceAlbert #Victorian #NineteenthCentury #TheYear1842 #RoyalFamily #D30may (at The Mall, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA03UbFDrcz/?igshid=4o7885hdwrj
on the day i took this picture, i learned that this middle road, on constitutional hill, was used for horse carriages. *mindblowing* (for me at least) 🤯 •• this is probably just common sense since back in the day, roads were mainly used for small transportation vehicles, so they were obviously made smaller (and so that more space could be reserved for buildings). 🙉 •• this is just different to what im used to in australia, where the roads are more spacious, due to the land size and also the fact that it’s relatively new grounds, at least where roads and infrastructure are concerned. •• whilst travelling, i just find it really fascinating and eye-opening to learn these small facts and explanations for why things are done/made in certain ways 🙈 •• isn’t history just fascinating? what are some things/facts where you were today years old when you figured them out? 💡 •• #history #buckinghampalace #bookstagram #wellingtonarch #dukeofwellington #constitutionhill #lifestyleblogger #love #vintage #manuscript #rustic #shakespeare #autumn #cosyvibes #inspiration #mybeigelife #bookblogger #bookphotography #thehappynow #babysbreath #livethelittlethings #vscocam #winter #fantasy #journalspread #beautiful #england #highfantasy (at Wellington Arch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6N6ku0gAl0/?igshid=r25agxrenpx1
