1857, Minnesota Constitutional Convention Debates
|
|
Debates and Proceedings of the Minnesota Constitutional Convention including the organic act of the territory … reported by Francis H. Smith, xix+685p., Saint Paul, Earle S. Goodrich, Territorial Printer, 1857. (The convention convened on July 13, 1857 and adjourned on August 29, 1857. A detailed index begins on p.iii. The debates of this convention are unusual in the fact that a portion of the delegates refused to co-operate and formed a rival organization. This resulted in leaving the convention composed entirely of Democratic members and little discussion of contentious topics. The draft Constitution adopted was the work of a joint committee of the two Conventions and acted upon with little discussion.)(The second copy was part of the Early State Records collection and digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Library of Congress).
