Answer 1

The Maryland-related events in the formation of the U.S. government in the correct order are 1) Maryland ratifies its first constitution, 2) Maryland signs the Articles of Confederation, 3) A Marylander becomes president of the Continental Congress, and 4) Maryland ratifies the U.S. Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to list a set of events related to Maryland's role in the formation of the United States government in the correct chronological order. Looking at the provided historical data, we can arrange the events as follows:

1. Maryland ratifies its first constitution.
2. Maryland signs the Articles of Confederation.
3. A Marylander becomes president of the Continental Congress.
4. Maryland ratifies the U.S. Constitution.

The Articles of Confederation were ratified by Maryland, the last state needed to do so, on March 1, 1781, making the Articles the official government of the United States. The Constitution was then drafted on September 17, 1787, and subsequently ratified by states. According to historical records, Maryland ratified the U.S. Constitution on April 28, 1788.

While the exact dates when Maryland ratified its first constitution and when a Marylander became president of the Continental Congress are not provided, it is important to note that these events must have occurred between the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution by Maryland in 1788.
