The 2nd Illinois General Assembly, consisting of the Illinois Senate and the Illinois House of Representatives, met from December 4, 1820, to February 15, 1821, during the second two years of Shadrach Bond's governorship, at The Vandalia State House.[1] The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the provisions of the First Illinois Constitution.[2] Political parties were not established in the State at the time.
