  • White has written an admirably clear and concise guide to the Utah state constitution, and her book is an excellent addition to an outstanding reference series. I recommend it to anyone interested in Utah history and law, as well as to anyone interested in the development of state constitutional law.

  • The book is an important and very informative analysis of the state constitution....Serious readers of Utah history and those interested in the significant changes of the constitution over the years will find the work and enlightening and delightful book. Professor White has done a fine job, and I compliment her for her work. I enjoyed reading it and am confident that many others will, too.

Description: The constitution of Utah, born of religious conflict, is explained in detail in this addition to the Greenwood series: "Reference Guides to the State Constitutions of the United States." It represents a comprehensive review of the unique historical background and the 100-year development of the Utah State Constitution. Written for the beginning of statehood in 1896, the original constitution survived until the early 1970s with little change. Since that time it has responded to a wave of constitutional reform that has produced change in virtually every article. This reference guide shows these changes section-by-section and explores their purpose and meaning. This book will be of interest for students of government and law.
