Claudine MULARD - Should the California Constitution Be Revised ?

Pouvoirs n°133 - La Californie - avril 2010 - p.17-27

California is experiencing a period of crisis and some accuse its Constitution, which was already inflated when it was ratified in 1879 and has been expanded with each new electoral ballot. Indeed, through popular initiatives the Golden State electors have kept adding constitutional amendments. Today, they agree that the system is jammed but disagree about the possible remedies : should they engage in a piecemeal revision of the Constitution or dare to engage in the writing of a new text, better adapted to a large modern state ?
