North Carolina's state constitution charts the evolution over two
centuries of a modern representative democracy. In The North
Carolina State Constitution, John V. Orth and Paul M. Newby provide
an outstanding constitutional and historical account of the state's
governing charter. In addition to an overview of North Carolina's
constitutional history, it provides an in-depth, section-by-section
analysis of the entire constitution, detailing the many significant
changes that have been made since its initial drafting. This
treatment, along with a table of cases, index, and bibliography
provides an unsurpassed reference guide for students, scholars, and
practitioners of North Carolina's constitution. Co-authored by Paul
M. Newby, a sitting justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court,
the second edition includes significant constitutional amendments
adopted since the date of the first edition. Almost every article
was affected by the changes. Some were minor-such as the
lengthening the term of magistrates-and some were more significant,
such as spelling out the rights of victims of crimes. One was
obviously major: granting the governor the power to veto
legislation-making North Carolina's governor the last American
governor to be given that power. In addition, the North Carolina
Supreme Court has continued the seemingly never-ending process of
constitutional interpretation. Some judicial decisions answered
fairly routine questions about the powers of office, such as the
governor's clemency power. Others were politically contentious,
such as deciding the constitutional constraints on legislative
redistricting. And one continues to have momentous consequences for
public education, recognizing the state's constitutional duty to
provide every school child in North Carolina with a "sound, basic
education." The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of
the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed
international interest in constitutional history and provides
expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume
in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the
state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis
of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further
research. Under the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr,
Director of the Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers
University, this series provides essential reference tools for
understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be
purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers
unmatched access to these important political documents.
