Cities and Villages Act of 1872 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cities and Villages Act of 1872
The Cities and Villages Act of 1872 was an act of the Illinois General Assembly governing the operation of incorporated municipalities. The act was an immediate source of political controversy. The legacy of the Act is that Illinois municipal elections take place in the spring while county, state, and federal elections continue to occur on the federal Election Day. ==History== The Act was adopted by the State of Illinois on April 10, 1872 and went into force on July 1 of the same year. The purpose of the Act was to provide a standard outline and means for villages and cities in the state to incorporate without requiring separate legislation for each application. On April 23, 1875, the city of Chicago voted to operate under the Act, as opposed to operating under the city charter which had previously been in effect.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/chichart.html )〕 The Act has been revised since then, and is located in Chapter 65 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes.〔 Despite this operation, the Illinois State Constitution was later amended by the addition of Article VII (Adopted September 3, 1970; Entered into force July 1, 1971) which grants home rule powers to Chicago. Among those powers are regulation for the protection of public health, safety, morals, and welfare, to license for regulatory purposes, to tax, and to incur debt.〔
