Cover Celebrates Bicentennial of Meeting of First Presidential Elector
Own this cover marking the bicentennial of the Constitution, the document that framed America’s government. On January 7, 1789, the nation's first presidential electors were named. The Constitution made no provision how the electors would be chosen, so each state determined its own method. Some were appointed by the legislature, and others were elected by the citizens. The legislature of New York was so strongly divided, it missed the voting deadline and sent no electors. The cover features a 1¢ Washington stamp and a Flag and Clouds stamp.
This cover is part of a series issued in honor of the Bicentennial of the Constitution. Begin your mini-collection of these covers today.
