Hey everyone. 
Did you know that on December 7th, in 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution, thus making Delaware the first state in the New Nation.
On this day in 1787, all 30 delegates to the Delaware Constitutional Convention ratified the newly written U.S. Constitution. That made Delaware the first state to join the Union — taking the lead in a process that required nine of the original 13 former colonies to approve the document for it to go into effect and thereby turn it into the fundamental law of the land.
Happy 237th Anniversary!
