A Digest of the Proposed Constitution
Report 213, ( November 62 ) 40 pages [907KB]

The purpose of this memorandum was to distill the essence of what the proposed constitution offers, in order to place in the ahnds of the voter a means for formulating his own appraisal and decision on this momentous public question.

Details and specifics of individual articles and sections give way here to a generalized view of the proposed document. The reader who wishes more detailed particulars is referred to the section-by-section comparison of existing and revised constitutional language issued earlier by the Research Council, The Proposed Constitution--A Comparison with the Present Constitution, Report No. 212 (Revised), August, 1962, or to the series of Council publications entitled Analysis of the Proposed Constitution. A third source of detail is available in the Preface and the Address to the People, each published separately by the Convention itself.

State Ballot Issues -- A General Revision Of The Laws
CC 737, ( October 62 ) 2 pages

A little-publicized constitutional amendment is to be submitted to the people at the November general election to permit general revisions of the statutes at a time and in a manner as the legislature shall determine. The last general revision of the laws took place in 1846. The experience was apparently not satisfactory, for the constitution of 1850, four years later, prohibited general revisions. The 1908 constitution continued the prohibition. The proposed new constitution to be voted on in April, 1963, also continues the prohibition.
