Could be a coincidence, but VK's last post was 1789.

In 1789...

the first presidential election, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States.

the 1st United States Congress meets and declares the new United States Constitution to be in effect.

The United States Congress proposes a set of 12 amendments for ratification by the states. Ratification for 10 of these proposals is completed on December 15, 1791, creating the United States Bill of Rights.
