The second edition of The Ohio State Constitution offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the historical trajectory of the Ohio Constitution, encompassing its pre-statehood origins with the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the adoption of the 1802 Constitution, which secured Ohio's admission as the 17th state in the Union, and the subsequent adoption of the 1851 Constitution, which serves as Ohio's current constitution. Thorough attention is devoted to examining the 34 amendments that trace their roots back to the Progressive-era 1912 Constitutional Convention, which introduced the concepts of initiative and referendum, as well as the home rule amendment. The historical commentary also delves into the contemporary endeavors to utilize commissions for constitutional revisions and the emergence of a new judicial federalism in Ohio.
In Part Two of the book, a detailed commentary is provided for each of the 220+ sections of the constitution, with the commentary on each of the 19 Articles commencing with an introductory essay tailored specifically to that article. This comprehensive approach ensures a thorough understanding of the intricacies and nuances of the Ohio Constitution.
By delving into the historical context, constitutional amendments, and modern developments, The Ohio State Constitution: A Commentary provides a valuable resource for scholars, legal professionals, and interested individuals seeking to gain a deeper appreciation of Ohio's constitutional framework.
