The longer, somewhat more precise answer is... 1  Between 2 and 5 days, depending on a number of factors. 2  This also requires us to define fully recover.. For the purposes of this questions, let's keep the definition simple and focused on things we can easily observe:
It has the date when each U.S. state joined the Union. Virginia's peoples convention in May-June 1776 prepared the first Constitution for a State Government, plus a Declaration of Rights. Other Colonies became States in late 1776 and into 1777, and used Virginia's Declaration of Rights as a pattern for their own Declaration.
In December 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the document. On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire ratified the constitution, giving it the theoretically sufficient endorsement of nine states, but New York and Virginia had yet to agree.
