• In the spirit of our continual recognition of the 250th anniversary of America, it’s time for “this date in history.”  On August 26, 1818, delegates to the state’s first ever Constitutional Convention gathered at the State House in Hartford for the first time to restructure Connecticut’s state government.  The task involved writing the state’s first formal written constitution.  Though Connecticut was no stranger to a constitution since it was where the Fundamental Orders were first written, much time had elapsed since they were first written. And, at the time, the United States didn’t even exist.  Hence, by 1818 it was time for an overhaul. By October of 1818, Connecticut had its first written constitution.  Also, on this date in 1920, the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote was formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution. Famous birthdays on this date include mathematician Katherine Johnson, actress Melissa McCarthy, and Geraldine Ferraro the first woman to run for Vice President on a major party ticket. Thanks for listening to this date in history.
