Extract

Constitutional amendments were proposed in 33 states in 1932. In 23, one or more were adopted. This note attempts to outline the changes made. Footnotes indicate the sections of the respective constitutions which were affected. A topical arrangement would be of value, but it is felt that the reader's convenience is better served by an arrangement by states. Space does not permit notice of defeated proposals.

Upson indicates that “there is grave question whether it is enforceable, and it is believed by many that the forthcoming legislature will be compelled to submit a repealing amendment, and possibly a new amendment which will undertake to accomplish the same purpose in an orderly fashion.” He suggests a number of questions which may arise in the interpretation of the amendment. Recent developments appear to support his predictions.
