Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Paper on the Judicial and Legal Condition of the Territory of Wisconsin: At and After Its Organization; Read Before the Club by Judge Miller, July 4, 1870 The territory North-west of the Ohio river, extending from the State of Pennsylvania on the East, to the Mississippi river on the West, and to the British Possessions on the North, was organized as a temporary government, pursuant to an ordinance of the Confederate Congress, passed July 13, 1787. An Act of Congress was passed on the 7th of August, 1780, to give the ordinance full effect, and to adapt it to the Constitution of the United States. The ordinance provided for the organization of a government, consisting of executive, legislative and judicial departments. But the governor and judges were empowered to select statute laws of different States, as laws for the territory, until the population would number five thousand, when a legislature should be elected and organized. By an Act of Congress, approved May 7, 1800, "all that part of the territory of the United States, North-west of the Ohio river, which lies to the westward of a line, beginning at the Ohio, opposite to the mouth of the Kentucky river, and running thence to Fort Recovery, and thence North until it intersects the territorial line between the United States and Canada, for the purposes of a temporary government, constituted a separate territory, called the Indiana territory." The general provisions of the ordinance were extended to this territory. The judges of the Courts were appointed for good behaviour, by the President of the United States. April 30, 1802, the State of Ohio was admitted into the Union. The Territory of Indiana was divided, and the Territory of Michigan organized, pursuant to an Act of Congress, passed January 11, 1805. By this act the same provisions were made respecting the tenure of office of the judges as in the ordinance.
