Art work in capital dome.

Thomas J. paid the artist to make
his hands look the biggest in the painting
to signify he had the biggest part in writing the constitution
look at his right foot, he is stepping on the other mans
foot, he also asked the artist to paint it that way.
He had quite a sense of humor!
