Here are two parts of the US Constitution that would today be treated as having spelling errors:
No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts
or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely
necessary for executing it's inspection Laws. (Art. I, Sec. 10, Cl. 2)
...no State, without it's Consent, shall be deprived of it's equal
Suffrage in the Senate. (Art. V)
When did prescriptive grammar specifically begin to target the preposed possessive pronoun it's as a bad spelling, and recommend exclusively its?
