State University of New York Press, 2006

The first systematic analysis of the obstacles to state constitutional reform. Through illuminating case studies of reform efforts in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, New York, and Virginia, this book-the first of three volumes-provides the first systematic analysis of the political obstacles to state constitutional reform. For those seeking constitutional reform, this useful resource can spell the difference between success and failure, and for those interested in state politics or constitutional politics, it offers rare insight into a distinctive aspect of American constitutionalism. Written by eminent scholars who were, in many cases, also active participants in the reform campaign, the essays provide practical experience, expert analysis, and lessons for future constitutional reformers.
