The Iowa State Constitution: A Reference Guide

This reference guide begins with a constitutional history of Iowa. The majority of this history is devoted to accounts of the constitutional conventions and the documents they produced. The rest of Part I contains a discussion of the cases that had an effect beyond merely deciding constitutional issues and an explanation of major amendments set in the context of Iowa history. The bulk of this book is a section-by-section analysis of the constitution rounded out by a bibliographical essay, table of cases, and index. It will be useful to students and scholars of law and constitutional history.
