Officers of the State of South Carolina 1787–1788

The constitutional officers (governor, lieutenant governor, privy counsellors), senators, and representatives served two-year terms. Four privy counsellors were elected each year. Judges served during good behavior. When electing other officers the General Assembly often, but not always, specified a two-year term. One of the two commissioners of the treasury was elected each year. The date of election (or service) is given for officers who served only a portion of the period between September 1787 and September 1788.
