Committee on Resolutions

The Peace Conference of 1861

The Committee on Resolutions was created to examine the different proposals of amendment to the Constitution or resolutions to introduce alternative options, and then to make a report to the Conference recommending a course of action for their consideration. On 11 February 1861, the Conference voted to allow resolutions to be submitted directly to the committee. Unfortunately, we do not have the records of this committee.
