July 1, 1776: A team of four Virginians are appointed to design the official seal for the newly-declared sovereign state. Four days later, the plans for the seal were presented to the Virginia government. The design was voted on and approved the same day, marking the most efficient act of democracy in the history of the United States, and the first and only example of nudity on any official state seal. Sic semper tyrranis. Don't f*ck with Virtus.
