The Constitution is not the handiest place where Pennsylvania is spelled with one less “n.” Some maps made at the time additionally featured this spelling (by means of Geographicus). The Liberty Bell also has the identical spelling that Alexander Hamilton used in the Constitution (by way of the National Science Foundation). This misspelling is much more attention-grabbing, because it could’ve taken more effort than a neglected pen stroke whilst writing.
Another case of misspelling Pennsylvania was dedicated via Benjamin Franklin, although it was intentional. According to Seymour Stanton Block’s 2004 biography “Benjamin Franklin, Genius of Kites, Flights and Voting Rights,” “[Franklin] purposely spelled Pennsylvania a different manner on each denomination bill: Pennsylvania, Pensylvania, Pennsilvania, and Pensilvania.” Benjamin Franklin’s intentional misspelling of the state identify on expenses was one of many clever ideas Franklin had, used as a clever anti-counterfeiting measure, but what about these other misspellings? Were they mistakes, or have been they too intentional?
