Abstract
The Iowa General Assembly, in 1868, voted to construct a new capitol that would stand through time as a symbol of the strength of Iowans and their commitment to good government. In this grand building, citizens petition their elected representatives in the General Assembly to enact laws for the common good, the Governor executes those laws for the well-being of the citizens, and the Supreme Court settles disputes and crafts remedies in order to apply the laws fairly to everyone. As was the General Assembly's intent, the Iowa Capitol has served as the seat of government for more than a century and is a working museum where visitors may view government in action amid the splendor of the past.
