This Day In Founders History – 6 August

On this day in 1776, [excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress]: “The Congress resolved itself into a committee of the whole, to take into their farther consideration the articles of Confederation.”

In 1787 on this day, the Federal Convention received the report of the Committee of Detail and adjourned to read the 23 Articles.

August 6, 1790, Montana ratifies the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which repealed the 18th Amendment, that of nationwide prohibition.
