John Hancock, who we recognize was actually president twice before George Washington was elected.
Should history begin 15 years after the birth of the county?
Technically that was another country, a collection of allied countries to be precise.
The whole constitutional convention was a blatant violation of the articles of the confederation. Meaning our entire government from the planning of the constitution, to the ratification process, to today, is actually
criminal.
The articles were very clear on what the reform processes were to be, our founding fathers disregarded them, and planned a new government from scratch using secret meetings that the public were not included on. Franklin was escorted around by armed guards to make sure he wouldn't accidentally leak the secret meetings to the public. It was an illegal coup!
Before the ratification of the constitution, we were not 1 country but a collection of individual sovereign states. Therego the COUNTRY as a
single unit, starts ~15 years after the birth of our country.
