  • The Provisional Government of Oregon was a popularly elected settler government created in the Oregon Country, in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Its formation had been advanced at the Champoeg Meetings since February 17, 1841, and it existed from May 2, 1843 until March 3, 1849, and provided a legal system and a common defense amongst the mostly American pioneers settling an area then inhabited by the many Indigenous Nations. Much of the region's geography and many of the Natives were not known by people of European descent until several exploratory tours were authorized at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Organic Laws of Oregon were adopted in 1843 with its preamble stating that settlers only agreed to the laws "until such time as the United States of America extend their jurisdiction over us". According to a message from the government in 1844, the rising settler population was beginning to flourish among the "savages", who were "the chief obstruction to the entrance of civilization" in a land of "ignorance and idolatry". The government had three branches that included a legislature, judiciary, and executive branch. The executive branch was first the Executive Committee, consisting of three members, in effect from 1843 to 1845; in 1845, a governor replaced the committee. The judicial branch had a single Supreme Judge along with several lower courts, and a legislative committee of nine served as a legislature until 1845 when the Oregon House of Representatives was established.

  • Le gouvernement provisoire de l'Oregon (en anglais Provisional Government of Oregon) était un gouvernement élu par le peuple dans l'Oregon Country, dans la région Nord-Ouest Pacifique de l'Amérique du Nord, qui exista du 2 mai 1843 au 3 mars 1849. Créé à une époque où aucun pays n'avait souveraineté sur la région, ce gouvernement indépendant fournit un système légal et une défense commune pour les pionniers colonisant la région. Les colons s'étaient mis d'accord sur le fait qu'il durerait « seulement jusqu'à ce que les États-Unis d'Amérique étendent leur juridiction sur la région », comme l'indiquait la Section 1 du préambule des Lois organiques de l'Oregon, qui furent adoptées en 1843 en tant que constitution. Le gouvernement suivait la séparation des trois pouvoirs. L'exécutif fut d'abord géré par un Comité exécutif de trois membres, de 1843 à 1845 ; puis, en 1845, il fut remplacé par le poste de gouverneur. Le judiciaire comptait un seul juge suprême et plusieurs cours. Le législatif était géré par neuf membres composés en législature jusqu'en 1845, lorsque l'Oregon House of Representatives fut établie.
