"This 'first session of the state legislature,' held under the state constitution adopted in 1857, was premature to the extent that Minnesota was not formally admitted into the Union until May 11, 1858. For the first five months of its protracted session, therefore, this body functioned as the legislature of a government still in the territorial status" [Martin].
