In 1897, the Indiana General Assembly attempted to legislate a value of pi during a session where a bill known as House Bill 246 was introduced. The bill proposed to define pi as 3.2, among other values, based on a misinterpretation of mathematical principles. However, the bill was never passed into law; it was ultimately rejected by the state Senate, highlighting the challenges of legislating scientific concepts.
Yes there once was a US state that tried to legislate the value of pi
It didn't happen; no state ever tried to legislate the value of pi. There was an urban legend that Alabama had tried to do it, but that was an April Fool's Day joke. It worked, didn't it? You probably fell for the "Spaghetti Fields of Switzerland" one too, didn't you?
The U.S. state that attempted to legislate a value for pi is Indiana. In 1897, a bill was introduced in the Indiana General Assembly that proposed defining pi as 3.2, among other values. Although the bill passed the House, it failed in the Senate and was never enacted, highlighting the absurdity of trying to legislate a mathematical constant. This incident is often cited as an example of the misunderstanding of mathematics by lawmakers.
A 1999 US Mint 50 State Quarters Proof Set is worth about five US dollars. However, a 1999-2008 US Mint 50 State Quarters Proof Set is worth about 100 US dollars.
There aren't 112 proof state quarters. There are only 50 proof state quarters, (along with 6 in the DC/US territories). Unless you are meaning you had both the clad (copper-nickel, common) proofs and the silver proof sets. But just about every clad US proof state quarter is worth about $1 or so, silver proof quarters go for about $7-8 or about fifty cents or a dollar above melt value individually.

The US Congress has the right to legislate that activity.
Any of the state quarters struck of circulation have face value only.
Yes, they tried to persecute us gays
No. We don't have statehood. We have a Commonwealth Status.
No. Violations of federal law are tried in US District Court. Violations of state laws in the state court system.
Not by his own authoritty, but Cogress could probably legislate to hold one.
Probably a Southern state; the one the produces the smallest value of products and takes in a much higher value
States' rights refers to powers reserved for the state governments rather than the U.S. federal government. Examples include the power to create local governments within the state and ratify amendments to the Constitution.
