When the 13 American colonies decided to form a proper constitution, the single largest question which confronted them was how their legislature would be organized. 

This question was really the crux of the entire constitutional convention, and if it couldn’t be resolved, it was likely there would be no constitution. 

Once it was resolved, Congress evolved with its own set of rules and traditions. Many of the key elements of the United States Congress are, in fact, not required by the constitution at all. 

Learn more about how the United States Congress came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 201 BC, the Romans were victorious over their archrivals, the city-state of Carthage, in the Second Punic War. 

This was was the closest which Rome had ever come to defeat and almost spelled the end of the republic. 

50 years later, some Romans felt that they left the job unfinished. In fact, some Romans could talk about nothing else.

In the ancient world, only seven metals were identified and named: gold, silver, iron, lead, copper, mercury, and tin. 

Tin probably doesn’t rank up there with the other metals in terms of how interestingness….or usefulness. Nonetheless, tin was incredibly important to the ancient world and remains incredibly important today. 

In fact, tin is probably playing a role in your life right now, and you don’t even know it.

Learn more about the wonderful world of tin on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ken Starr's 2018 memoir, Contempt, gives an inside look into his investigation of the Clinton administration that led to President Clinton's impeachment. In an interview from back when the book was published, Starr, who died this week, discusses in a conversation with Steve Inskeep his perspective on the president and the law, which at times may seem to conflict with his later stance on President Donald Trump.
