Armenian Legends and Festivals (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armenian Legends and Festivals The history of the constitution of Minnesota herein briefly narrated adds something toward the literature from which will some day be written the composite constitutional history of the states referred to above. Minnesota has had an instructive constitutional history. Her forty-year experience with the simplest amending process then in existence in the states was fol lowed by a rejection of that method and the adoption of one more difficult, with a Significant change in results. The history of the taxing clauses of the constitution, of the prohibition of state participation in works of inter nal improvements, and of many another portion of the constitution must needs throw much light on the experiences of other states and should be a guiding lamp for the feet of future legislatures and constitutional conven tions in this and other commonwealths. It is only to be regretted that the narrative could not have been written in greater detail and with a more trenchant pen.
