In 1920, the inaugural season of the National Football League (NFL), 11 veterans of Major League Baseball (MLB) (including George Halas and Jim Thorpe) became the first athletes to accomplish the feat. Since 1970, only seven athletes have done so, including Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders.
The Constitution of the Republic of Texas (1836), the first Anglo-American constitution to govern Texas, was drafted by a convention of fifty-nine delegates who assembled at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 1, 1836 (see CONVENTION OF 1836).
The Constitution was written and signed in Philadelphia in the Assembly Room of the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall. This was the same place the Declaration of Independence was signed. The Constitution was written during the Philadelphia Conventionânow known as the Constitutional Conventionâwhich convened from May 25 to September 17, 1787. It was signed on September 17, 1787. Where is the Constitution? Is it at the National Constitution Center?
