This comprehensive guide, the only single source for information on Michigan's fundamental law, begins with a history that traces the development of the Michigan constitution from its origins in the Northwest Ordinance, through the various constitutions to the 1963 Constitution and its amendments. An analytical commentary on the current constitution as amended, article-by-article, section-by-section, makes up the heart of the book. A table of cases, annotated bibliography and index complete this unique reference work. While designed for scholars, lawyers, and members of state and local government, The Michigan State Constitution is written in plain language that is accessible to any citizen interested in understanding Michigan's charter of government.
