Excerpt: ...the Territory of Iowa upon the subject of the formation of a State Constitution for the State of Iowa" was approved by the Governor. In substance this act was practically a restatement of the provisions of the act of February 16, 1842. The viva voce vote was to be taken at the Township elections in April, 1844.

X THE CONVENTION OF 1844 In accordance with the provisions of the act of February 12, 1844, and the act of June 19...
