Commenting here, since there is not a comment section for the headliner “Preparedness Notes” for today.
Did I read it wrong when it says the first “12” Amendments to the U.S. Constitution was submitted for ratification on this date 1789? Always thought it was the first “10”
There were indeed 12, but only 10 of them were ratified. See: http://teachinghistory.org/history-content/ask-a-historian/21861
