1. This week’s edition of #50Weeks50Constitutions travels to the home of the College Baseball World Series & Payton Manning’s favorite audible. That’s right, we are heading to Nebraska, the #CornHuskerState, with their unicameral legislature—but that wasn’t always so.
2. The U.S. bought the land that would eventually become Nebraska in the Louisiana Purchase. It was shuffled around & governed by different territories until the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which officially created the Nebraska Territory & set up a basic government. 
3. This government included a three-member Supreme Court, a Governor appointed by the President, and a bicameral Legislature. This Act set the territory on the path to statehood, but it was not a smooth path and was delayed by the Civil War.
