The state of "Massachusetts" was misspelled as "Massachusets" in the original U.S. Constitution. This error appears in Article I, Section 2, where the names of states are listed for the purpose of apportioning representation. The misspelling has been a point of historical interest and reflects the typographical challenges of the time.
