Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the legal and historical aspects of constitutional change in Rhode Island. It examines the traditional method of amending the constitution through legislation and the alternative method of calling a constitutional convention. The author argues that the convention method is a valid and constitutional means of changing the Rhode Island constitution, despite the existence of a provision for legislative amendment. The author supports this argument with an analysis of the relevant constitutional provisions, historical precedents, and legal reasoning. The book also discusses the broader question of the power of the people to alter their constitutions and the role of the courts in interpreting constitutional provisions. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and well-researched analysis of constitutional change in Rhode Island and its implications for American constitutional law.
