More Description
This is the first and only comprehensive guide to the Maine State Constitution that draws on many primary sources and unpublished secondary materials not widely available or easily accessible to scholars and practitioners. This reference highlights major trends and developments in constitutional revision and interpretation in Maine and summarizes the meaning and effect of each constitutional provision. One of Greenwood's Reference Series on State Constitutions, this volume is designed for legal practitioners, historians, governmental officials, and diverse public library readers.
The first part of this reference guide deals with the history of the Maine Constitution in general. The second part consists of a section-by-section analysis of the constitution, outlining the intent, historical development, and interpretation of each provision. This research study is a reference that may also be a springboard for further study. A bibliographical essay, table of cases, and a general index complete this important reference work.
