Overweight California Constitution Criticized by Burke
NORRIS J. BURKE, constitutional lawyer on Gov. Goodwin Knight's staff, says California's constitution is the second worst in the 48 states and perhaps the worst. He notes the 1859 document is 1,000 pages, weighs 10 pounds, and has broad provisions. Since 1880 it has been amended 437 times, making action hard without more amendments. The paper urges a constitutional convention to draft a brief general-principles document with details moved to statute.
