New And Swift Manner To Amend Constitution Offered
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace proposes in Collier's Weekly a four member economic council to decide national policy by direct referendum. The council would submit questions to voters and laws would be binding and not unconstitutional even by the supreme court. Direct constitutional amendments could be initiated by the council and ratified by two thirds voter approval. Wallace argues this would speed reforms beyond slow traditional methods and rely on nonpartisan, esteemed figures akin to a permanent staff for national continuity.
