The Convention in good faith, and from an anxious desire to expedite the transaction of its business, had drawn the cord a little tighter than it was elsewhere drawn, and what had been gained? Mr. B. Proceeded to show the effect of the amendment which had been made to the rule re lating to the previous question, and to trace to its Operation the constant motions which were made to reconsider. By which the whole merits of questions which had already been discussed, were again thrown open to debate.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1910. xvii, 350 pp. Reprinted 1999 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 98-50815. ISBN 1-886363-73-0. Cloth. $65. * Discusses the practice and methods of the amendment and revision of state constitutions and the legal principles (rather than theories) which precede such alterations. An examination of the first state constitutions from 1776-1783 provides a historical context, but much of the work analyzes the relevant legal principles affecting changes to state constitutions based on a study of judicial decisions pertinent to such areas as the development of the distinction between constitutions and statutes, and the distinction between the constitutional convention and the regular legislature in states. Includes a Table of cases and an appendix, by state, showing popular votes on constitutional questions from 1899-1908.
