Administrative History
The Council of Appointment was created by the 1777 state constitution for the purpose of selecting individuals to fill non-elective offices. The council was composed of the Governor and four senators chosen by the Assembly. The council was abolished in 1822 after the ratification of the 1821 constitution.
