Today in 1957, the Soviet Union launched a part-Samoyed terrier named Laika into space. Laika was the first being to travel into orbit but she did not survive the flight. The technology to safely return payloads did not yet exist: https://t.co/AjJ7loQeXx

Congress passed the Volstead Act over President Wilson’s veto on #ThisDayInHistory in 1919. The act provided for the enforcement of prohibition but failed to prevent the large-scale distribution of alcoholic beverages, and organized crime flourished in America.

The first of the Federalist Papers was published on October 27, 1787. The essays became the most authoritative explanation of the Constitution's meaning, cited or quoted by the Supreme Court more than any other interpretative document. #ThisDayInHistory https://t.co/sppbOJZmHf
