Synopsis

Short constitutional history of New Mexico from the 1840s to the present through fractious and difficult times, pointing to specific problems and reforms. This reference survey describes the acquisition period from 1846 to 1853, the territorial period from 1850 to 1910, the drafting and ratifying of the 1910 constitution, calls for reform and the 1969 constitutional convention, and reforms by piecemeal amendment. An analytical commentary of the current constitution, article by article, makes up the heart of the book. A table of cases, bibliographical essay, and index complete this unique reference survey, which is designed for students and teachers, scholars and experts, and lawyers in the fields of legal studies, state and local government, and American history.
