1804-, Louisiana Session Laws

Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana: title varies, New Orleans/Baton Rouge, var. state printers, 1805– (French exploration of the
lower Mississippi Valley began in the late 1600s, and a French fort was established at Biloxi in 1699. The territory was under military governance
until 1712, when Louis XIV granted letters patent to Antoine Crozat for all of the Crown’s territory “between old and new Mexico and Carolina.” A
superior council was established with jurisdiction in all matters civil and criminal. Light-handed French rule extended for the next fifty years, after
which, in 1762, France ceded the ill-defined “Louisiana Territory” to Spain in compensation for the latter’s support during the Seven Years’ War. A much
more hands-on Spanish governance extended for the next 41 years until 1800, when France, under Napoleon I, reclaimed sovereignty. But events in Europe
soon overwhelmed Napoleon’s schemes for an “American Empire,” and on 30 April 1803, by the Treaty of Paris, sovereignty for the still ill-defined
“Louisiana Territory” passed to the United States. By the Breckinridge Act of 26 March 1804 the new territorial acquisition was split into an “Orleans
Territory” {comprising most of present-day Louisiana and holding most of the holdover French citizens} and a mostly empty “District of Louisiana” {later
The Territory of Missouri}, which was placed under the jurisdiction of the U.S. governor for the Indiana Territory. In its first two years the Orleans
Territory was administered by a U.S. governor assisted by a Legislative Council. But the governor/legislative-council structure dissatisfied the
French citizens because it enabled Governor Clairborne to repeal or modify civil laws in force and to interfere with the continuance of slavery. In the
event the governor/legislative-council system survived for only two sessions; respectively starting on Dec. 3, 1804, and June 20, 1805. In 1805, in
response to petitions from the French and Creoles, the U.S. Congress granted to the citizens of the Orleans District a right to establish a new
territorial government, modeled as in other U.S. territories under the terms of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. That new government had an elected
twenty-five-man House of Representatives and a five-man Legislative Council appointed by the U.S. president. The Orleans Territorial Legislature met for three
two-year terms; 1806/07, 1808/09, & 1810/11. The Orleans Territory became the State of Louisiana in 1812, with its first state legislative session being
held in July of that year.) (Records that are part of the Early State Records collection were digitized from a microfilm copy of titles originally
held by the Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Illinois State Library, and the Louisiana State University Library).
