Preferred term
New Hampshire
Definition
- New Hampshire was one of the original thirteen states and the ninth to ratify the U.S. Constitution. From the beginning, it has presented itself as “colorful, gritty, and provocative.”1 It was among the first states to ban religious tests for officeholders in the early 19th century, to adopt progressive political reforms in the 20th, to institute the first state lottery in the modern era, to invent the current and widely emulated version of the presidential primary—and to insist in state law that it hold the “first in the nation” primary.
