Michigan's territorial legislature responds with a budget…

June 1835 CE

Michigan's territorial legislature responds with a budget appropriation of three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars to fund its militia.

In May and June of 1835, Michigan drafts a State Constitution, with provisions for a bicameral legislature, a supreme court, and other components of a functional state government.

However, Congress is still not willing to allow Michigan's entry into the Union, and President Jackson vows to reject Michigan's statehood until the border issue and "war" is resolved.
