"History of the Constitutions of Iowa" by Benjamin Franklin Shambaugh is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the political evolution and constitutional history of Iowa, exploring the foundational documents and ideals formed by its early pioneers. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Iowa's journey towards statehood and its significance within the broader context of American democracy." "At the start of this historical examination, the author introduces the context of Iowa's founding, emphasizing the pioneering character of its settlers. Shambaugh underscores the profound impact the ideals of these early inhabitants had on establishing representative governance, even prior to the official formation of the state's constitution. Furthermore, the author hints at the tensions and conflicts surrounding the legal status of early settlers—playfully referred to as "squatters"—and the significance of their collective actions in shaping Iowa's political identity before it gained statehood."
