A Treatise On Constitutional Conventions: Their History, Powers, And Modes Of Proceeding (1887) by John Alexander Jameson is a comprehensive examination of the role and function of constitutional conventions in the United States. The book provides a detailed history of conventions, tracing their origins back to the colonial period and following their evolution through the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and subsequent state constitutions. Jameson explores the powers and limitations of constitutional conventions, including their ability to amend existing constitutions and draft entirely new ones. He also examines the various modes of proceeding used by conventions, including the selection of delegates, rules of procedure, and the role of public opinion. Throughout the book, Jameson draws on numerous examples of constitutional conventions from across the country to illustrate his points. He also provides a critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of conventions, and offers suggestions for improving their effectiveness. Overall, A Treatise On Constitutional Conventions is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and workings of the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. It provides a thorough examination of the role of conventions in shaping our nation’s laws and institutions, and offers valuable insights into how they can be used to promote democracy and good governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
