Provisional Confederate States Constitution : ウィキペディア英語版 | Provisional Confederate States Constitution The Provisional Constitution of the Confederate States of America was an interim constitution adopted by the Confederate States of America and in force from February 8, 1861 to March 11, 1861. On March 11 it was superseded by the more permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America. It is housed at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. ==Montgomery Convention and the Committee of Twelve== On February 4, 1861, in Montgomery, Alabama, a convention consisting of delegate from South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana met to set about creating a new form of government based on that of the United States of America.〔Lee, Jr., Charles Robert. ''The Confederate Constitutions''. Chapel Hill, NC: The University of North Carolina Press, 1963, 60.〕 Their efforts resulted in, among other achievements, the drafting of a Provisional Constitution for what came to be known as the Confederate States of America. Before the Montgomery Convention could accomplish anything, it required a set of guidelines to follow. On February 5, Christopher Memminger proposed a committee of thirteen be created for the purpose of drafting a provisional constitution in order to grant congressional power to the convention. Thomas Cobb, of Georgia, moved that the committee be twelve, with two members from each state delegation. The Convention settled on the latter, nominating Memminger and Robert Barnwell from South Carolina, William Barry and Wiley Harris from Mississippi, James Anderson and James Owens from Florida, Richard Walker and Robert Smith from Alabama, Alexander Stephens and Eugenius Nisbet from Georgia, and John Perkins and Duncan Kenner from Louisiana to the Committee of Twelve. The committee elected Memminger, who had arrived at the convention with a draft already prepared, as their chair.〔Lee, ''Confederate Constitutions'', 60; Yearns, Wilfred Buck.
