Pennsylvania was spelled two different ways in the original text of the United Constitution. In Article I, Section 2, the conventional modern spelling of "Pennsylvania" was used which conflicted with the state's spelling by its representative signatories in the list of signatures at the end.
In the list of signatures, the state is spelled as "Pensylvania" with only a single N as opposed to the double N's used today. Although this usage conflicted with the use in the earlier section, it was by no means incorrect as the single-N spelling was in common usage for the state at the time, especially by Pennsylvania citizens, which the representative delegates that signed the document most likely were.
