Synopsis

This official report provides an unprecedented record of the proceedings and debates from the Utah Territory Constitutional Convention from 1895. The 107 delegates were tasked with drafting a framework for a new state government in order to be admitted into the Union, granting Utah equal standing with the other 45 states. The record provides insights into the complex political landscape of the time, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by the delegates. Issues of civil rights, land use, education, and the separation of church and state dominated discussions. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the processes and struggles involved in the formation of the State of Utah and the broader context of western American history.
