1776

1849

The first Utah state constitution was drafted in 1849. This was a pivotal moment in Utah's history as it marked the first organized attempt to establish a government in the territory following the arrival of Mormon pioneers in 1847. The draft was created by the settlers who had formed what they called the State of Deseret. Although this constitution was never recognized by the federal government, it signified an important step towards self-governance and the eventual admission of Utah as a state. The foundational principles and structures established during this time influenced later documents and the eventual constitution adopted when Utah became a state in 1896. This early constitution showcased the aspirations and desires of the people in shaping their own political and social ideals.
