North Carolina ratified the 1787 United States Constitution on November 21, 1789 where the state capitol today resides in Raleigh.

The official North Carolina motto is "Esse Quam Videri," which translates to "To Be Rather than to Seem." This phrase is attributed to Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman statesman and philosopher who lived during the 1st century BC. The motto has been used by North Carolina since 1893 and was adopted as the official state motto in 1893. The phrase emphasizes the importance of being genuine and honest, rather than putting on a show for others. It encompasses the idea that North Carolina values integrity and sincerity above all else.
