Abstract
State constitutions have been the motive force in American political and economic development. This is not to dismiss the role played by the national Constitution, but that document has undergone very few changes in our history while changes in state constitutions have precipitated economic and political change. These changes in turn produced notable revisions in state constitutions, which contributed to subsequent transformations of American political and economic interests.
