One of these days, I really ought to visit Independence Hall and see what it looks like IRL. From what I can tell, this was where each delegation was sitting.
The delegates who were there on this long last day were:
New Hampshire | Nicholas Gilman, John Langdon |
Massachusetts | Elbridge Gerry, Nathaniel Gorham, Rufus King |
Connecticut | William Johnson, Roger Sherman |
New York | Alexander Hamilton |
New Jersey | David Brearly, Jonathan Dayton, William Livingston |
Pennsylvania | George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin, Gouverneur Morris, Robert Morris, James Wilson |
Delaware | Richard Bassett, Gunning Bedford Jr., Jacob Broom, George Read |
Maryland | Daniel Carroll, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, James McHenry |
Virginia | John Blair, James Madison (at the secretary table), George Mason, Edmund Randolph, George Washington (presiding) |
North Carolina | William Blount, Richard Spaight, Hugh Williamson |
South Carolina | Pierce Butler, Charles Pinckney, C.C. Pinckney, John Rutledge |
Georgia | Abraham Baldwin, William Few |
What was the deal with Rhode Island, anyways? Were they always sort of the “lone wolf” state? I know they were also the last of the 13 originals to ratify the Constitution too.
Yes.
No, seriously. I don’t even read too much more, and from what I can tell, that sums it up. They were Zoidberg.
“Constitution 1-X! Save the union! And Rhode Island!”
I’m so brain-dead today I don’t even remember which episode you’re referencing. Now you’re going to tell me, and I’m going to be so embarrassed.
