- W1578638609 abstract "It ^s as follows : Marshall has this year embarked in a revolutionary scheme of procuring the passage in the Legislature, by the sup port of the Democratic members, of a bill submitting a new con stitution to the people and providing means of counting the Democratic party as a vote for the constitution. The present constitution, while it provides a required process for amendment, makes no provision for the calling of another constitutional con vention, nor does it make any mention of the possibility of a new constitution. Governor Marshall and members of the Legis lature have argued that this leaves the door open for the Legis lature to submit a new constitution to the people. As far as Indiana is concerned, however, there would be just as much precedent for the Governor himself submitting a new constitution to the people without the intervention of the Legislature. All precedents call for a constitutional convention. If, on the other hand, the new constitution be, as is claimed by the opposition, not in fact a new constitution, but a series of amendments to the old, the whole procedure is plainly unconstitutional. Although this is a feature of current history, it will probably occur to the reader that, for the present at least, the matter is political rather than historical; and I confess that my chief interest in it is political, though I think it is so in the best sense of the word. The chief end of the proposed constitution is to secure honest elections; and I believe that, without honest elec tions, republican government is a sham and a mockery. For" @default.
