State and Local Government. Pg. 63. ref The National Municipal League developed the Model StateConstitution in 1921 to advocate constitutional reform based on a higher law tradition that is, a state constitutional tradition based on basic and enduring principles that reach beyond statutory law as opposed to Positive Law Tradition a state constitutional tradition based on detailed provisions and procedure . The Model StateConstitution is now in its sixth version. It does not promote partisan ideals or a particular political ideology , but rather a simplistic, more concise, and more readable outline for state fundamental law that seeks to remain flexible to deal with emerging problems.

Flood amendment As originally drafted and sent to the United States Congress , the New Mexico Constitution contained a number of limitations on the process for making amendments. These included a requirement of a two thirds vote of the legislature in order to propose amendments, that in addition to a bare majority, all amendments must be ratified by at least 40 of those voting in the election, with a 40 vote in at least half of the counties, and a limitation on the total number of amendments that could be submitted to the people per election.

The Leavenworth Constitution was one of four Kansas state constitutions proposed during the era of Bleeding Kansas . The Leavenworth Constitution was drafted by a convention of Free Staters , and was the most progressive of the four proposed constitutions. The conspicuous aspects of this Constitution were a Bill of Rights that referred to all men making no distinction between the rights of white men and African American men , the banning of slavery from the state, and a basic framework for the rights of women. The constitutional convention that framed the Leavenworth Constitution was provided for by an act of the Territorial Legislature passed in February, 1858 , during the pendency of the Lecompton Constitution in Congress. The constitution was adopted by the convention at Leavenworth April 3, 1858, and by the people at an election held May 18, 1858. The Leavenworth Constitution did not have a great impact on the history of Kansas as the United States Senate did not approve of the codified laws in the written document. The other proposed state constitutions were the Topeka Constitution 1855 , the Lecompton Constitution 1857 and the Wyandotte Constitution 1859 .
