As Judge Sutton recently said, state constitutions & their interpretation, have repeatedly been at the forefront of constitutional law. You can’t understand where it's been & where it’s going without understanding them in addition to the federal version.https://www.amazon.com/51-Imperfect-Solutions-American-Constitutional/dp/0190866047 …

Once a week I’m going to be tweet-storming the constitutional history of each of our beautiful union’s 50 nifty United States. And we’ll do it not alphabetically, or even in order of admission, but in order of the oldest constitution.

Being this is Twitter, we’ll only take a 30,000 foot view of each state, discussing the different constitutions and conventions, some of the quirky characters and histories behind them, and pointing readers in the right direction for where to learn more.

Thus, there won’t be much discussion of judicial opinions interpreting the constitutions. But, as readers pass those along I’ll be happy to share them.

Huge thanks to
@IJ's Judicial Engagement Fellow@realACShelton in helping put all this together. 50 different histories is quite a story to tell.Prikaži ovu nit -
We at
@IJ’s Center for Judicial Engagement hope you’ll grab a cup/glass of your state’s favored beverage, sit back & enjoy the sweep of constitutional history before your eyes. First up, New Hampshire, where those who Live Free or Die wrote constitutions way before it was cool.Prikaži ovu nit

Texas is a state crazy for juries. We've got juries in equity cases! San Jacinto Oil Co. v. Culberson, 100 Tex. 462, 101 S.W. 187 (1907)

Excellent! As a former adjunct professor teaching state con law, and a former state solicitor general, I have spent a lot of time on state constitutions--most of it on Missouri (1945), of course.

Can't wait til you get to ours. Does anybody else's require their state legislature to provide public libraries? R.I. Const. Art. XII, sec. 1.
