That reminds me of this episode of
Sliders, I love that show, where the gang slid into an alternate world where Edgar Hoover became president in the past and changed the Constitution to the point where the US was really Big Brother.
He even had it covered up to the point where the current generation thought that that was how the Constitution really was!
However, there was an underground movement of Freedom Fighters that had information that the Constitution had been altered, but they needed real proof, an original text of it.
I can't totally remember how the episode ended, but the Sliders gave them a CD with the original Constitution saved on it.
Incidentally, the law enforcement in this world all wore skirts, and Kurt Cobain's greatest hits were Christmas Songs
