Susan chose the Liberty Bell to represent the liberties established in these amendments. The Liberty Bell became an icon of American freedom when abolitionists adopted it as their symbol. The New York Anti-Slavery Society first used it as a frontispiece to an 1837-edition of their periodical, Liberty. Previously called the "State House bell," it was named the "Liberty Bell" by abolitionists in reference to its inscription, "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," from Leviticus 25:10.

It took Susan seven months to illustrate and letter the more than 2600 words of Amendments 11 through 27. She lettered the amendments in red and blue over a background drawing of the Liberty Bell in shades of grey. The words, "justice," "liberty," and "equality" in black and the phrase "we the people" in blue, surround the amendments. She feels honored to be lettering these important American documents.
