Maine Constitutional Convention

After a vote was held in July 1819, the Act of Separation was approved. Subsequently, a constitutional convention took place in Portland, starting on October 11, 1819. Delegates from across the state gathered in Portland to work on the new Constitution, which was completed later that month. Once the draft was approved by the delegates, it required a vote from the people of Maine. In December, the citizens of Maine approved the Constitution.
