Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical precedent for constitutional conventions, and how they came into being. It examines the origins and development of this method of altering and revising state constitutions in the United States, as practiced in the years between 1776 and 1783. The author provides a detailed account of the process during the revolutionary period, including the role the founding fathers played in establishing the distinction between constitutions and statutes, the development of the constitutional convention, and the submission of constitutions to the people for ratification. The book sheds light on how the concept of a constitution as a superior legal framework, limiting the powers of government, came into being, and how the idea of popular sovereignty influenced the practice of constitutional amendment.
