The Commission had been appointed by the Constitutional Conventions of the two sections of the Territory of Dakota, in compliance with section six of the Act passed by the U.S. Congress providing for the division of the Territory into the two states of North Dakota and South Dakota and their admission, together with the territories of Montana and Washington into the Union.
