From Humble Beginnings to the Big Leagues: A Delegate Delegation Delegation
- The Early Days: Sharing is Caring (or Not Really)
Back in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Georgia wasn't exactly a picture of delegation commitment. They were initially allocated six delegates, but only two showed up regularly (William Few and Abraham Baldwin). The others? Well, let's just say they were busy tending to their crops or maybe perfecting their peach cobbler recipe.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
- Moving on Up: Seats at the Congressional Table
Fast forward to the U.S. Congress, and Georgia finally got its act together. In the first Congress, they sent a respectable three delegates. But here's the kicker: as the state's population grew (thanks to all those delicious peaches, no doubt), the number of delegates fluctuated more than a nervous debutante at a cotillion. From two to seven, and back down again, Georgia's congressional delegation was like a yo-yo, keeping things interesting for the history books.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
The Moral of the Story? Don't Be a Flaky Delegate (Unless You Have a Really Good Reason)
There you have it, folks! A whirlwind tour of Georgia's delegation history. Remember, folks, showing up is half the battle, especially when it comes to representing your state. Unless, of course, there's a rival state delegation competition for the best pecan pie. Then, by all means, stay home and bake!
