This chapter will discuss two very important legal documents, the New York State Constitution and the United States Constitution. When most people mention the “Constitution” they are usually referring to the United States Constitution which was ratified in 1788. However, 11 years early, New York State had adopted its first of four Constitutions, wi...
As already mentioned above, New York’s first constitution was adopted in 1777. However, since that time, the NYS’s Constitution has been rewritten three more times, in 1821, 1846, and 1894. NYS’s current Constitution is from 1938. It was not rewritten but modified by amendments to the 1894 Constitution.
New York’s first Constitution was drafted right after New York’s Fourth Provincial Congress declared New York independent of Great Britain in 1776. It was formally adopted by the Convention of Representatives of the State of New York meeting in the upstate town of Kingston, on April 20th, 1777. The Constitution declared the possibility of reconcili...
At the 1821 Convention, there was a bitter debate over the property qualifications for voting. Many at the convention felt the need to retain property ownership was a qualification for the right to vote and was necessary to avoid as Chancellor James Kent, the state’s leading legal scholar and the head of its highest Court, said “corruption, injusti...
Several changes were established in the 1846 rewrite of the NYS Constitution. Most notably, were the abolishment of the Court of Chancery, the Court for the Correction of Errors, and the New York State Circuit Courts. Jurisdiction was moved to the New York Supreme Court, and appellate jurisdiction to the New York Court of Appeals. The Attorney Gene...

The number of state senators and assemblymen increased. The year of cabinet officer elections was changed. The State Park Reserve was given perpetual protection. Convict labor was abolished. Voting...
While the Constitution was not rewritten at this convention, 57 amendments to the 1894 Constitution were presented to the voters. Some of the notable changes approved by vote were the setting out of the rights of public works workers, the removal of a debt ceiling for NYC so the city could finance a public rapid transport system, and permission for...
Perhaps the most important legal document ever written, the U.S. Constitution is the heart and soul of the experiment known as the United States of America. The preamble, which has no legal applicability, is nevertheless important. It sets out the goals and aspirations of what the Framers of the Constitution were hoping to accomplish during the sum...
While most of us have a basic understanding of the Revolutionary War, also known as the American Revolution, it cannot be understated how much influence that war had on the formation of our Constitution and a new form of government that ensued. The war started in 1775 and effectively was over by 1781 after the Continental Army defeated the British ...
Our first Constitution was actually the Articles of Confederation. The Continental Congress felt the need to create a central government due to the war. Six different drafts of the Articles of Confederation were presented to Congress, as early as 1775. Congress adopted the final version in 1777, but it did not go into effect until 1781. The Article...

New York's first state constitution preceded and influenced the development of the United States Constitution. In drafting state constitutions prior to the ratification of the national constitution, New York and its fellow original states established a tradition of dual constitutionalism that endures to this day.

Jun 27, 2024 · Abstract. It is often argued that the United States Constitution was designed so as to create a stable political order. Yet in the literature on the formal theory of democracy, there has been very little examination of constitutional provisions for their stability-inducing properties.
