Does visitor center misrepresent American history?

A constitutional scholar says the new Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, DC, is an extremely biased and historically inaccurate exhibit that “twists and distorts” the Constitution.
The new $621 billion Capitol Visitor Center features an exhibition hall that is dominated by a very large marble wall called “The Wall of Aspirations.” Dr. Matthew Spalding of The Heritage Foundation says the exhibit is not about the Constitution’s limits on powers delegated to the government, but instead lists aspirations such as unity, freedom, common defense, knowledge, exploration, and general welfare, and then points back to where they are found in the Constitution.
