Statehood Ordinance and Convention Proceedings in Dakota
The Dakota Constitutional Convention debates repeal of section 32 and outlines schedules for a statewide vote on a full state government. Speakers argue federal power, territorial law, and the need for clear self government, with motions adopted to advance the majority report and prepare memorials to Congress. A future election plan for 1887 is formalized.
