Synopsis

A window into Michigan’s constitutional history and public debate.


This official record presents the debates and proceedings of the 1867 Michigan Constitutional Convention, with sections that include the preamble, foundational articles, and proposals discussed by delegates. The volume captures the tone of deliberation, the concerns about boundaries, governance, and taxation, and the care taken to document amendments and the reasoning behind them. It is a thorough reference for understanding how the state’s framework was shaped during this crucial period.



  • Read the actual discussions on the structure of the state government and the Bill of Rights.

  • See how delegates debated boundaries, seats of government, and equalization of taxes.

  • Explore references to earlier constitutions (1835, 1850) and their influence on 1867.
