• W3123980359 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION Over the last several decades, the field of state constitutional law has become both more prominent and influential. Consequently, state constitutions have been receiving more judicial attention and have been increasingly applied in a diverse array of settings. Across the country, more and more attention is being paid to state constitutions and the role they play in the broader framework of American constitutional law and development. This increasing attention is occurring at the same time that litigants are increasingly turning to state constitutional provisions in their constitutional litigation. In a way, this is an important, although perhaps unforeseen, legacy of the federalism revolution waged by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1990s, with more and more constitutional litigation focusing on the state constitutions. To support this intensifying focus on state constitutions, reference literature is needed to explain and analyze the structural schemes and substantive provisions of the various state constitutions. For this reason, a series of three subsequent articles seek to provide a general overview of the 1889 South Dakota Constitution through both a narrative and documentary history of that document. These articles respond not only to the need for greater study of the history of the South Dakota Constitution in particular, but also to the growing role and influence of state constitutional law in general in the American legal system. (1) The first article provides a narrative history of South Dakota statehood including the long and complex history of the drafting and ratification of the South Dakota Constitution. Before South Dakota was admitted as a state into the Union, three different constitutional conventions were held, each of which produced a constitutional document. The second article presents a discussion and analysis of the major issues of debate during the 1885 and 1889 constitutional conventions. Finally, the third article presents a documentary history of the South Dakota constitutional period through the lens of the journalistic coverage of relevant events. The selected newspaper articles illustrate various issues and controversies relevant to the drafting and ratification of the South Dakota Constitution. While obviously not comprehensive, the articles illustrate the larger social, economic, and political forces coming to bear on drafting and ratification of the South Dakota Constitution. The editors surveyed and examined hundreds of newspaper articles, choosing the selected articles as some of the best representative journalism samples of the constitutional period. II. THE UNIQUENESS OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA CONSTITUTION Through a study of state constitutional law, one can see both the consistencies between state constitutions and the unique aspects of each constitution. For instance, even though it is one of the nation's lesser-populated states, South Dakota has a unique constitution for a number of reasons. The history of the South Dakota Constitution is one of prolonged political struggle. Even though the Dakota Territory was being settled during the Civil War, South Dakota did not become a state until 1889. The primary reason for this long delay involved political conflicts at the national level. During the 1880s, for instance, the Democratic Congress opposed statehood for South Dakota, which was seen to be a strongly Republican-leaning state. South Dakota also achieved statehood at a time when railroads and corporate conglomerates played powerful roles on both the state and national scene. Although the railroads greatly contributed to South Dakota's development and population, they also threatened to corrupt or dominate state legal and political processes. The framers of the South Dakota Constitution borrowed heavily from the constitutions of other states. However, they also adapted the constitution to South Dakota's unique needs and settings. …" @default.
