In 1920, the inaugural season of the National Football League (NFL), 11 veterans of Major League Baseball (MLB) (including George Halas and Jim Thorpe) became the first athletes to accomplish the feat. Since 1970, only seven athletes have done so, including Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders.
The Constitution of the Republic of Texas (1836), the first Anglo-American constitution to govern Texas, was drafted by a convention of fifty-nine delegates who assembled at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 1, 1836 (see CONVENTION OF 1836).
The Constitution was written and put forward in the House of the First Congress in the year 1787. However, it was ratified by all states and finally put into function as a suitable replacement of the Articles of Confederation in the year 1788. George Washington was the first person to sign the constitution.
