Trivia: Which state flag displays the date December 7, 1787?
Massachusetts
Maine
Vermont
Delaware
The correct answer is Delaware
So why is this answer correct? : December 7, 1787, is when Delaware became the first state in the union to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and the date is written across the bottom of its state flag. Delaware’s coat of arms is displayed inside a diamond that represents Delaware’s nickname, “the Diamond State,” because, as Thomas Jefferson said, the state is “small, but valuable.”
