Indiana Supreme Court rules Indiana constitution unconstitutional
The Indiana Supreme Court declared Gov. Thomas R. Marshall's new constitution draft unconstitutional. It held that the people must submit such changes to a constitutional convention, not the legislature, and that the move bypassed the people’s fundamental right to alter their government. The ruling upholds the people’s right and questions the rushed legislative adoption.
