Are You Smarter than a Judge or State Rep?


Extra, Extra send us the latest news!


Representative Judge (retired) Robert Rowe (R-Amherst) recently posted a series of questions for history buffs, and there are a lot, in the New Hampshire House. I thought it would be fun to share some of these Historical Snippets that Representative Rowe posted with the residents of Hudson, Litchfield, and Pelham. The answers are available in the so-called “Red Book” of New Hampshire government and online. Or you can call the State Historical Society or even that wealth of New Hampshire history, our Secretary of State Bill Gardner. The history of New Hampshire is profound and exciting. Oh yes, our neighbor to the south may have fired the “shot heard ‘round the world,” but the first Revolutionary War armed confrontation with England was right here in New Hampshire. It was the New Hampshire Constitution that helped form the Constitution of the United States. It was the New Hampshire General Court that insisted upon the first 10 amendments to that document known collectively as the Bill of Rights. It was the General Court of New Hampshire that made the Constitution of the United States the Supreme Law of the Land. Anyway, here are Representative Rowe’s trivia questions and a few of mine for your summer-time pondering: There are no prizes to those who can answer the questions other than a deeper respect for this great state. 1. When did the King of England allow New Hampshire citizens to elect their legislature?


2. When did the New Hampshire citizens break from England and call for an independent elected people’s government?


3. When did New Hampshire enact its first Constitution? 4. When and where did the first violent revolutionary conflict with English Colonial rule occur in New Hampshire?


5. What was the largest membership of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and when?


6. In what year was the first Native American, black, and 19-year-old student elected to the New Hampshire House?

10. Who was the only New Hampshire man who held all of the following seats: NH House, NH Senate, NH Governor, and U.S. House and U.S. Senate?


11. How many personal staff persons are paid for by tax dollars for each Member of the New Hampshire House?


12. What is the relationship between Bennington, VT, and New Hampshire? (Hint: there are two; one is a significant, oft under-reported, factor in the defeat of the British Army at Saratoga).

Editor’s note: Representative Jordan Ulery sent us an interesting article by Judge Rowe. It seems the question is, do you know more than the Judge or Representative?
