Vital reading for all politics students, this book teaches the history of the Periodic Constitutional Convention Referendum (PCCR) and provides modern-day case studies to enable you reach your own conclusions on the desirability of the PCCR.
The PCCR entails three popular votes that bypass a state legislature: whether to call a convention, who to elect as convention delegates, and whether to ratify a convention’s proposals. PCCR periods range from 10 to 20 years. The PCCR is currently in the constitutions of 14 U.S. states with a combined population of 88 million. By contrast, the 24 states with the ballot initiative have a combined population of 145 million.
