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

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 )
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
