1812WRCAM40147Washington City 1812. 32pp. Dbd. Lightly foxed some chipping along spine- edge. Slight tanning to text. Good. The constitution of the State of Louisiana as accepted by the United States for entry into the Union. Louisiana's 1812 constitution was modeled after that of Kentucky providing for a two-house legislature and extensive executive powers. Only adult white males who paid taxes could vote which instantly disqualified two-thirds of the adult white male population and of course all nonwhites and women. The appeal for statehood was particularly urgent as the War of 1812 was unfolding. The Orleans Convention writes in January "Motives of peculiar urgency connected with the repose and security of the people of this territory have induced them to solicit of the executive that the constitution herewith transmitted may be immediately laid before Congress so as to be acted on without delay at their present session." Louisiana was the eighteenth state to enter the Union. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 27252. unknown books
