For Utah to achieve statehood, one of the conditions set forth was for the LDS church to ban polygamy, which was done in 1890. What were the other conditions?

The conditions for statehood in Utah were outlined in the 1894 Enabling Act passed by congress. This was four years after the manifesto in 1890, which announced the end of polygamy by the LDS Church (at least officially). It required, among other things:

  1. That Utah ban polygamy forever.
  2. That Utah adopt the US Constitution.
  3. That all of Utah's delegates be eligible to hold office (i.e., under the Edmunds Tucker Act, not be polygamists).
  4. Ensure religious tolerance.
  5. That the people within the state relinquish any claims to public land within the proposed territory of the new state.
  6. That the people within the territory vote on adoption of a proposed constitution and elect their representatives.
  7. That funds provided by the US for education go towards only state owned educational institutions, and not religious schools.
    Those were the primary conditions Utah had to meet. The US granted money, land, water, and other resources with which to establish the various government structures and institutions described in the Enabling Act.
