Overview

This volume contains the ""Constitution of the State of Deseret and Memorial to Congress,"" adopted in convention on March 2, 1872, and ratified by the people on March 18, 1872. The State of Deseret was a provisional state of the United States, proposed in 1849 by Mormon settlers in the Great Salt Lake Basin. This document represents a significant effort by the inhabitants to gain recognition and statehood within the Union. It offers valuable insights into the political aspirations and legal framework envisioned by the early settlers of what would become Utah. The constitution outlines the structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the relationship Deseret sought to establish with the federal government. As a historical artifact, it sheds light on the challenges and ambitions of a community striving for self-governance in the American West. It is a crucial primary source for understanding the complex history of Utah and the evolution of American constitutionalism on the frontier.
