Reply to comment by Mr_Matt_K in On this date in 1787, the great state of New Jersey became the 3rd state to ratify the Constitution. Fun fact: States are given two senators in the US Senate thanks to William Patterson’s New Jersey Plan, where less populous states opposed giving control of the government to more populous states by rollotomasi07071

California should have fewer senators. By your math 1 Wyomingian is worth 68.5 Californians, and in reality 1 Whyomingian is worth at least 10 times that many californians

General Gage's wife, Margaret Kemble Gage, was from New Brunswick. She was the one who was spying on her husband and gave the info to the patriots that Revere, Dawes and Prescott relayed to the minutemen.

Also what's weird is New Jersey was the first to ratify the bill of rights, but we are one of only 5 states that does not have a right to bear arms provision in our state constitution.
