Synopsis
Excerpt from Laws of the Territory of Illinois, 1809 1811
Second only in importance to the Constitution of the United States is the act, which established civil government in the old Northwest. The Ordinance of 1787 is one of the last acts of the old Congress. And was passed at a time when already the convention was in session to create the Federal Union. The principles of government and law enacted by it have formed the foundation upon which has been built the territorial system of the United States.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Addressing the importance of law in the formation of the Old Northwest, this 1899 publication draws from 35 laws adopted by the initial legislature of the Illinois Territory from 1809-1811, as well as relevant laws passed by the preceding Northwest Territory legislature. By revealing how the sets of laws were adopted from existing codes of the original states, the author shows the strong influence of Southern legal codes in shaping the governance of the new territory and provides insight into the foundation of United States territorial law. Initial laws establishing courts of common pleas and county courts, defining criminal offenses and punishments, and outlining property ownership regulations are among those outlined in this publication, giving the reader a sense of the essential institutions and legal concerns in this period of rapid Western expansion. An invaluable resource for legal historians, scholars of territorial expansion, and anyone interested in the history of the American legal system, this text offers a detailed look at the roots of legal governance in the Midwest. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
