Download or read book Colorado Constitutional Law and History Second Edition written by David Kopel and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado Constitutional Law and History provides students, lawyers, and citizens with historical background, case precedents, and practical analysis of the entire state Constitution. While the U.S. Constitution is terse, the Colorado Constitution is detailed and prescriptive. It covers topics as diverse as gambling, mining, schoolchildren's textbooks, and old age pensions. Adopted in 1876, the Colorado Constitution was the longest that had ever been written. It is even longer today, thanks to the many amendments created via the people's rights of initiative and referendum. When settlement from "the States" began in the 1858 gold rush, Coloradans spontaneously created their own ad hoc governments. Colorado's Constitution later declared Coloradans' "sole and exclusive right of governing themselves." The independent spirit has continued to the present, including in the modern constitutional amendments that defied federal marijuana prohibition. Past and present, Coloradans have wanted an active government, and have also expected that the people in the government will abuse their powers. Colorado's unusually detailed state Constitution is Coloradans' continuing effort to keep government officials under the people's control. Yet over two dozen sections of the Colorado Constitution have been nullified by the Colorado supreme court or by other branches of state government. The majority of nullified sections involve the Constitution's rules against special government aid to politically powerful businesses, and the rules allowing taxation and debt only by voter consent. Colorado Constitutional Law and History describes the successes and failures in the people's attempts to use the Colorado Constitution to regulate governments in Colorado, and to protect Coloradans' rights of governing themselves.
Download or read book The Colorado State Constitution written by Professor Richard Collins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado State Constitution provides an outstanding constitutional and historical account of the state's governing charter. It begins with an overview of Colorado's constitutional history, and then provides an in-depth, section-by-section analysis of the entire constitution, detailing important changes that have been made since its drafting. This treatment, which includes a list of cases, index, and bibliography, makes this guide indispensable for students, scholars, and practitioners of the Colorado constitution. The second edition includes an updated history of the constitution that focuses on events and amendments that have transformed the state in recent years including population growth, background and interpretations of Colorado's complex and unique tax revolt, known as TABOR, the state's extensive provisions for direct democracy, the initiative, veto referendum, and recall of elected officials. 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 Lawrence Friedman of New England Law School, Boson, 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: "In gathering the information needed to write this book, the authors came to appreciate several themes. First, the Colorado Constitution and case law offer a novel and refreshing perspectives on the history of the state. Most major social movements, crises, embarrassments and celebrations ended up in state courts, with a constitutional argument by at least one major participant. The courts' role was often decisive and occasionally miscast in traditional histories. Second, over long stretches of time the Colorado Supreme Court's performance was less than exemplary. The original three-judge court in the 1880s launched the judicial branch very well, and the modern court is professional and conscientious. During many other periods, the court was blatantly partisan and at times, well, just zany. The court's relationship to the legislature vacillated from too little deference, such as the court's pro-business and anti-labor stance during the 1890-1920 period or the court's strange interference with relief for the poor during the Depression, to too much deference, such as the court's blessing after 1905 of numerous taxing and debt schemes pushed by the legislature to subsidize a variety of private industries. The framers' rules for the structure and processes of government, however, have held up and continue to serve. Since the 1850s this beautiful spot of geography has been witness to a turbulent, tumultuous, occasionally violent boom-and-bust style of human society that continues. For residents it has been and is life in high, unpredictable winds"--

Download or read book State of Change written by Courtenay W. Daum and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado has recently been at the center of major shifts in American politics. Indeed, over the last several decades the political landscape has altered dramatically on both the state and national levels. State of Change traces the political and demographic factors that have transformed Colorado, looking beyond the major shift in the dominant political party from Republican to Democratic to greater long-term implications. The increased use of direct democracy has resulted in the adoption of term limits, major reconstruction of fiscal policy, and many other changes in both statutory and constitutional law. Individual chapters address these changes within a range of contexts--electoral, political, partisan, and institutional--as well as their ramifications. Contributors also address the possible impacts of these changes on the state in the future, concluding that the current state of affairs is fated to be short-lived. State of Change is the most up-to-date book on Colorado politics available and will be of value to undergraduate- and graduate-level students, academics, historians, and anyone involved with or interested in Colorado politics.
