Alexander Hamilton with the words “Marking the Moment” and “National Civics Day, October 27” and the quotation, “The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records … They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature. —Alexander Hamilton, 1775”
📅 On this day in 1787, Alexander Hamilton published Federalist 1, urging Americans to ratify the #Constitution. That’s why Oct 27 is #NationalCivicsDay.
