Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Erection and Formation of the State of West Virginia: From the Territory of Virginia The following article appears as a prefix to the first volume of reported cases of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, from the preface to which, as an explanation for its insertion in that volume, the following extract is taken: "Whilst it is not designed to attain to the dignity of formal history, is deemed proper in order that the events therein recorded may not pass from memory, and at the same time to provide some accessible memoranda, useful to the lawyer in his practice and convenient reference by all. The main events of the movement which culminated in the establishment of the state of West Virginia, are arranged in the order in which they transpired, together with such extraneous facts as it is thought proper to give, that the reader may arrive at an intelligent conclusion on the whole subject. With what accuracy and faithfulness the duty (imposed by the Court) has been performed, the public must judge. No pretension to infallibility, either in style or judgment, is claimed." It was written at the close of the great struggle, out of which sprang the vigorous young state within whose borders, the author was born. If it is tinged with the white heat of the conflict, the afterglow may not be unworthy. The duties of the hour were discharged; the then future has now become history.

Download or read book The West Virginia State Constitution written by Robert M. Bastress Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Virginia State Constitution provides a review of the history and development of West Virginia's Constitution and an updated section-by-section analysis of its meaning. The State has had two constitutions, the original that was ratified in 1863 and the current one that was initially adopted in 1872. Both were rooted in the several Virginia Constitutions that preceded them but also included major reforms that emerged out of ongoing disputes between the western and eastern regions of antebellum Virginia. Amendments in the thirties and between 1968 and 1982 modernized the Constitution. This history is recounted in Part I of the book. This second edition provides section-by-section analysis that describes the origins and evolutions of the provisions and, more importantly, summarizes the interpretations given to them by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals over more than 150 years of the State's existence. The text reduces the case law to readily grasped concepts and cites the leading cases. A useful and convenient table of cases is provided, and a bibliography to facilitate more extensive or specific research is included. The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wise (1806-76) was extremely active on the Virginia and national political scene from the early 1830s to the mid-1860s, drawing popular support because of his projection of hopefulness and energy. Regarded as eccentric, Wise is given, in this study, an interpretation that finds consistency in his life-long controversial and impulsive behavior. Simpson stresses Wise's ambivalent attitude toward slaves and slave-holding, authority and authority figures, and Virginia and the United States.
