| Description | In 1805, Michigan adopted a criminal code which made no reference to sodomy. In 1810, Michigan abrogated all previously applied laws, including the laws of England, Canada, the ancient French common law, the Northwest Territory, the Indiana Territory, and all laws it had enacted between specific dates in 1807 and 1810. Therefore, if the common law of England had in fact been in place, it was officially repealed on this date. |
