There's a typo in the United States Constitution

Really.

Article I, Section 10 includes the phrase "except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws". The superfluous apostrophe appears in both the handwritten and early printed texts.

How embarrassing.

It occurs to me to suddenly wonder what parallels there might be between environment that led to the rather sudden appearance of "its" to replace "his" and the locutions used to avoid using a gendered pronoun for a non-gendered thing, and the apparent need for a gender-neutral pronoun for people now.
