The first session of this Legislative Assembly was effected by a dispute with the Governor over whether or not the session was legally sanctioned by Congress. The session was adjourned twice, and finally came back into session on the governor's request in March 1843, when they finished their business. This Legislative Assembly was also unusually long, spanning four general elections (1843, 1844, 1845, & 1846).
