There were several variations of the spelling of Arkansas over the years. The explorer Marquette spelled it as "Akansea" whereas La Salle later spelled it as "Acansa". La Harpe spelled it "Akansas", then Pike referred to is as "Arkansaw". The Enabling and Organic Acts of Congress had the state spelled as Arkansaw when she was admitted into the Union. The first time that "Arkansas" was formally used was in the Constitution of 1836.
