1889 Prohibition Bill
11/27/2013: On July 4th, 1889, seventy-five delegates from northern Dakota Territory met in Bismarck for the North Dakota Constitutional Convention. The Enabling Act, passed in February of that year, allowed for the creation of a state constitution that would go into effect when North Dakota became a state in the coming months. Most of the seventy-five delegates were farmers or lawyers from the eastern part of the state, but their differing opinions created tension and disagreements.
