Grand Council/Senate Journals. 1671-

|
(Journals of the Grand Council/Senate of the Province/Colony/State of South Carolina): title varies, 1671–, various private and state printers, 1671–. (Many of the early journals are available only in manuscript format or in edited reprints. The earliest extant journal appears to be an edited reprint of that for the Grand Council covering 25 Aug. 1671 to 24 June 1680. In 1663 Charles I of England granted a Charter for the Province of Carolina to a group of eight “Lords Proprietors”; a group of nobles who had helped restore him to the throne in 1660. Initially the territory nominally comprised the area occupied by the modern U. S. states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In 1665 the charter was expanded to nominally include Spanish territory to the south as far as St. Augustine in modern Florida. However the first settlement in the whole vast area, Charles Town {now Charleston, S.C.} was not founded until 1670, and for many decades the area was sparsely populated. The Lords Proprietors administered the small population for roughly the next 50 years through a body called the Grand Council. In acknowledgment of the difficulty of governing the vast territory, in 1691 the Colonial proprietors appointed a governor resident in Charleston for the whole of Carolina, but regularly appointed either another governor or a deputy to administer the northern portion of the colony. In 1712, North and South Carolina were officially divided into separate colonies, with South Carolina continuing to nominally administer the dependencies further south. In 1719, in response to the settlers’ dissatisfaction with proprietary rule, South Carolina was effectively made into a crown colony administered by a royal governor and his council. This was made official in 1729 when the Lords Proprietors sold their charter back to the Crown. In that same year the territories roughly comprising modern Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi were severed off and given a separate Royal Charter as the Colony of Georgia, so that South Carolina assumed its modern borders. South Carolina became a U.S. state through its ratification of the United States Constitution on 23 May 1788. Pimsleur’s Checklists of Basic American Legal Publications, in its listings of identified published session laws for South Carolina, begins with year 1731, the year of the S.C. Ninth General Assembly. However, various legislative assemblies were functioning at least as far back as 1671; i.e., The Grand Council, 1670-1719, and His Majesty’s Council 1720-1775. The history of the Senate of South Carolina dates back to the beginning of local rule by the Proprietors through the Grand Council in 1671. The House of Representatives dates back to the establishment in 1691 of an advisory body to the Grand Council consisting of 20 elected members termed the Commons House of Assembly. It is noteworthy that the enumeration of the earlier General Assemblies ends with the 33rd General Assembly, Feb. 23-Aug. 39, 1775. A new series of enumeration was begun with the 1st General Assembly in 1776. See LLMC #21115 and 21116 for related documents. Of note, the document for the November 28-December 23, 1864 session was burned and not thus not available for microfilming by the Library of Congress.
