Marbled Monday

For this week’s Marbled Monday post, we’ve got the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin published in 1846 in Madison in what was then the Wisconsin Territory by B. Brown. It features the constitution of Wisconsin as “adopted in convention at Madison on the sixteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, together with the Act of Congress and the Act of the Legislature in relation to the formation of a State government in Wisconsin.” However, Wisconsin would not officially gain statehood until 1848, and it’s noted in the record for the book that the “Constitution was rejected by the People, April 6, 1847.”
