"It is apparent that from the inception of the Nauvoo Stake in October 1839, the Saints considered its officers tantamount to the recognized government of the area. Not only did the High Council pass resolutions regarding ferry usages, but set standards and procedures for the cost and sale of town lots in Nauvoo (subject to the First Presidency's approval), and contracted to erect a stone school house in the city. The High Council supervised the work of poor relief in the area and approved the establishment of economic enterprises. The Kingdom of God, however, was instructed to function within the existing society and governmental structures and not apart from them, therefore making the creation of a legal government at Nauvoo a vital link in the fulfillment of the Church's goals."
