  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.

FOSTER, LL.D., UNITED S TATES SENATOR FROM CONNECTICUT, AND ACTING VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR P RIVATE DISTRIBUTION. BOSTON : FRANKLIN P RESS: RAND, AVERY, & COMPANY. 1881. PREFACE. An e xhaustive memoir of the late Senator Foster would properly include a detail of the secret history of the war for the Union, or at least a review of its leading events, with an analysis of the political occurrences which preceded it. Mr. Foster was so inti mately connected with the administration of President Lincoln, that the story of his life would involve a narration of the history of the country during those stirring and eventful years. The statesmen who were most competent to detail the events of that period of the national administration and Mr. Foster's participation in it have, most of them, like the subject of our sketch, gone to their rest. The record has in a great degree perished with them. Mr. Foster was on many occasions in his later life urged to commit to manu script his recollections of those days. He replied that he had thought at times of doing so, but that he had been prevented by too engrossing occupation with public business during those years when the details were most vivid to his recollection. He never afterward . found the opportunity to write these chapters of his experience ; and the country has occasion to regret it, as a valuable leaf in her history is thus forever lost.
