Amendments to Constitution.

313. [THE legislature of 1855 proposed certain amendments to the constitution, which will be found 1855, 311. The legislature of 1856, by an act approved April 19, 1856, 138, agreed to one of them, and provided for its submission to the people. It was approved and ratified at the next general election. The amendment, which was to section 2 of article 10, will be found inserted at its proper place in the printed constitution.

The next legislation on the subject was an act, approved March 31, 1857, 161, recommending electors to vote for or against a convention to revise and change the constitution. Another act of the same nature was approved April 12, 1859, 226; and still another, approved April 28, 1860, 335.

The legislature of 1861 proposed a number of amendments (see 1861, 661) and passed an act (approved May 20, 1861, 585) providing for their publication and reference to the next legislature. The legislature of 1862 agreed to nearly all of them in substance, though with some changes of form (see 1862, 581, and compare with 1861, 661), and by act (approved April 25, 1862, 434) provided for their submission to the people; and they were ratified at the next general election. A concurrent resolution was adopted, March 21, 1863, 785, declaring what the amendments were. They will be found inserted in their places in the printed constitution. The legislature of 1862 proposed an amendment in regard to special legislation (see 1862, 588), but no further action has been taken in regard to it. As some of the amendments adopted in 1862 were originally proposed in 1855, so this proposed amendment of 1862 may be the subject of further action.]
