Georgia Lawmakers Debate Reconstruction Era Powers
A tangled transcript shows Georgia legislators in 1870 debating the limits of executive and legislative power during Reconstruction. The exchange centers on committees, quorum, and the authority to appoint a State Board of Education, with references to constitutional doctrine, civil rights amendments, and the danger of centralized control. Strong entities include the Georgia General Assembly, Thaddeus Stevens, and Chief Justice Chase.
