010df - 5d
Of all the "important" dates we were forced to memorise in school, the ratification of the US Constitution or the date it took effect are both oddly absent. So I thought I'd #asknostr to see who knows it without searching?
While I'm on the subject I may as well also #asknostr who knows what year Washington became president without looking it up? nostr:nevent1qqs22fdxtrtds6tllvjk7q7net3cdle2xtwc02ltezyn5frnx8x9esgpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqqgd7ry53l56k4xjedl2gg8l5zx409vfsxmw568g8248avka8uz6qvzqqqqqqyhu6834
YOLO @YODL - 5d
I looked the constitution up earlier after reading another post of yours on articles of confed. Don't know answer to this one, but wanna say... 1787
(Guess probably informed by earlier look up, otherwise...I may have said 1776 )
I was looking for the date for the state the hit the limit making it official, or the date it took effect. The point it isn't 1776 and it isn't the year the revolutionary war ended. That should make you wonder right?
So I already got you with an earlier post. It isn't 1776 and it isn't the year the revolutionary war ended. That means it isn't the first charter document for the US federal government. So why are we all taught that it is?
I'm actually not sure what I was taught on this. I only vaguely recall I had to memorize two dates from back then, the well known 1776 and a second one which I thought was 1787 (maybe), but could scarcely recall the distinction. Beginning to discover lately that this is an area of history I'm actually curious to learn more about. The more counter to popular understanding, the more interesting
