Attorneys General (1777- )

The office of attorney general was established by the Constitution of 1776 (sec. 48). The attorney general was appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Governor's Council. The office was briefly abolished by constitutional amendment in 1818 (Acts of 1816, ch. 247; confirmed by Acts of 1817, ch. 69). The General Assembly reestablished the office by the end of the same session (Acts of 1817, ch. 146). By 1851, the attorney general's duties were fulfilled by the state's attorney (Md. Const. 1851, Art. 5, sec. 3).

The Constitution of 1864 (Art. 5, sec. 1) reestablished the office of the attorney general. The attorney general was elected by the voters of the state for a four-year term. To be eligible for office, the attorney general was required to have resided and practiced law in the state for seven years. The 1867 Constitution (Art. 5, sec. 4) lengthened the residency and law practice requirements to ten years.
