Indiana
Constitution
Full Title
Constitution
of the
State
of
Indiana
1816
Congress and session when document passed
Indiana
Constitutional
Convention
1816
Description
On
June
10
,
1816
, the
constitutional
delegates
assembled
at
Corydon
. As a
group
they were
men
of
high
quality
. Of the
forty-three
elected
twenty-six
had
southern
antecedents
but they had
come
from the
democratic
backcountry
rather
than the
plantation
tidewater
.
Eleven
were from
northern
states
and
six
were
foreign-born
.
Jonathan
Jennings
was
chosen
as
president
and
William
Hendricks
as
secretary
of the
convention
. By a
vote
of
33
to
8
they
asserted
that
it
was
expedient
to
form
a
constitution
. In
preparing
Indiana's
fundamental
law
they
borrowed
heavily
from
existing
state
constitutions
especially
those of
Virginia
,
Ohio
, and
Kentucky
. They
produced
a
strongly
democratic
document
for that
period
which
served
Indiana
well
for
thirty-five
years
.
Slavery
was
forbidden
and an
advanced
concept
of
state
responsibility
for
public
education
was
incorporated
. The
amending
process
was to
prove
cumbersome
. The
new
constitution
went
into
effect
without
submission
to the
people
.
