The Constitutional Conventions for the soon-to-be state of Minnesota agree to a compromise document as the state's constitution. The convention had split into two parts, Republican and Democratic, shortly after it convened. While the groups were unable to bring themselves to work together formally, they manage to produce nearly identical documents that form the state's constitution. No change in cooperation has been noted since.
