Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth constitutional history of Illinois from the early 19th century to the present day. It begins with the territoryâs governance after the Revolutionary War, then the constitutional convention of 1818 that established the state's first constitution and the controversies that plagued the early governance of Illinois, including slavery, banking, and infrastructure projects. The book then examines the drafting and ratification of the 1848 and 1870 constitutions of Illinois, with a focus on the political and social movements that shaped their development. The author then turns his attention to later periods, such as the 19th century movement to rein in special interests and the Progressive Era. The book concludes with a look at 20th and 21st century constitutional issues in Illinois, including debates over issues like taxes, education, and criminal justice, and how these issues have shaped contemporary politics in the Prairie State.
