Get Ready For a Big Surprise in Section 31
- Salaries and government spending will be distributed, recorded, and justified in exactly the same manner in Kansas Territory as they are in Nebraska Territory.
- Section 31 is super exciting because it is the only section (other than the geographical boundaries stuff) where the rules are different for Kansas than they are for Nebraska.
- Hold onto your hats and check this out: The government seat will temporarily be located at Fort Leavenworth, and the Governor and Legislative Assembly can use any buildings there that are not needed for use by the military.
- Whoa. Slow your roll, Kansas, this "individuality" thing is getting way out of control…
- Thankfully, section 32 brings us back down to earth with rules about a U.S. Congressional Representative that are identical between Kansas and Nebraska Territories.
- Don't want to get too crazy here.
- Government buildings will be paid for by the U.S. Government, just like in Nebraska.
- Townships and schools will be measured out and area allocated just like they are in Nebraska.
- The Governor's authority to set up judicial districts and appoint judges is just the same as it is in Nebraska.
- The rules for handling money are the same in Kansas as they are in Nebraska.
