ILLINOIS MEMORIAL WAS ADOPTED 10* YEARS AGO The Illinois memorial, praying for statehood, which was adopted by the Territorial Council on December 10, 1817, was laid before the lower house of Congress by Nathaniel Pope, the delegate from the territory, in the House of Representatives on January 16, 1818. It was immediately referred to a select committee of which Pope was chairman. The memorial was brought up for consideration on Jan- uary 23. Its title was: "To enable the people of Illinois Territory to form a constitution and state government, and for the admission of such state into the Union, on equal footing with the original states." It was modeled after the Indiana Enabling Act which was approved by Congress in 1816, After authorizing the inhabitants of the territory, "to form for them- selves a constitution and state gov- ernment, and to assume such name as they shall deem proper," boun- daries of the proposed state were *ixed as they are at present with the exception that the northern boundary was to be "an east and west line drawn through a point ten miles north of the southern extreme of Lake Michigan." In order to obviate anj' difference over the validity of i the change of the ordinance, the con- vention was required to ratify the boundaries aforesaid; "otherwise they shall remain as now prescribed by the ordinance." Section three of the bill authorized "all white male citizens of the United States who shall have arrived at tht age of 21 years, and have resided in said territory six months previous to the day of election, and all per- sons having in other respects the legal qualifications to vote for repre- sentatives in the General Assembly of the said territory, to choose repre- sentatives to form a convention. Thit differed from the Indiana bill which required a year's residence. The Enabling Act was referred I ack to the house on Friday, January 23, and sent to committee of th« whole. It was not taken up, how- ever, until April 4. While the bill was pending, Pope introduced an amendment changing the northern boundary to its present position. A few other amendments, all of a minor nature, also were offered. The third reading and final passage of the bill in the house took place on April 6, apparently without opposi- tion. It was transmitted to the Sen- ate the following day. There was some opposition in the Senate and the bill was not adopted until April 14. It was signed by the President on April 18, 1818.
