Description and Holding Information
1895, Utah Constitutional Convention, 2v
Official report of the proceedings and debates of the convention assembled at Salt Lake City on the fourth day of March, 1895, to adopt a
constitution for the state of Utah: n.a., Vol. 1-2, Salt Lake City, Star Printing Co., 1898, all publ. (The citizens of the future State of Utah made at least
seven attempts to fashion a statehood constitution acceptable to the U.S. Congress. The constitutions of 1847, 1856, 1862, 1867 request admission of the
territory under the name of the State of Deseret, a name with undesirable religious implications for many members of Congress. Those of 1882, 1887
and 1895 petition for a state named Utah. The first six attempts were rejected mainly due to Congressional concerns over the practice of polygamy in the
territory and fears over control of the proposed state by the Morman Church. The 1895 constitutional convention fashioned the seventh, and first
successful, attempt to create a document amenable to Congressional approval. Thus this Journal constitutes the primary source for Utah constitutional
history. It contains both the minutes of the convention and the final draft of the constitution.)(The second copy was part of the Early State Records
collection and digitized from a microfilm copy of titles originally held the Library of Congress)
