Connecticut was one of the original thirteen colonies ; joined the United States on January 9, 1788 [4] . Before independence, Connecticut was a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain . Like most early-educated states, Connecticut claimed western territories, but, unlike them, did not all claims during the formation of the United States. He did not give up his claim to the until 1800, when the latter was transferred to Old Northwest / Northwest Territory [5] .
The current , ratified in 1965, sets a governor's term of office of four years [6] ; it begins on Wednesday after the first Monday of January following the election year [7] . The previous version of the 1818 constitution originally envisaged a governor term of one year; in 1875 it was increased to two years, [8] and in 1948 to four years [9] . The 1875 amendment also postponed the start day of the term from the first Wednesday of May following the election to the current version [10] . The state constitution provides for the election of vice-governor for the same term as the governor and on the same ballot; this norm was introduced in 1962 [11] . In case of vacancy of the post of governor, he becomes the vice-governor [12] . Prior to the adoption of the 1965 constitution, the vice-governor only served as governor [13] . There is no limit on the number of terms .
Connecticut did not introduce its own constitution for several decades after becoming a member of the United States; Until 1818, the authorities functioned in accordance with the norms of the colonial charter.
