Vital reading for all politics students, this book teaches the reader both the history of the Periodic Constitutional Convention Referendum and provides modern day case studies to enable you to come to your own conclusions on the desirability of the Periodic Constitutional Convention Referendum.

The Periodic Constitutional Convention Referendum (PCCR) is currently in the constitutions of 14 U.S. states with a combined population of 88 million in 2023. By contrast, the 24 states with the ballot initiative had a combined population of 145 million.

The first half of this book covers PCCR's democratic function and its structural-legal, intellectual, and political history. The second half of the book provides contemporary case studies of PCCR referendums in three states: Maryland, Alaska, and Rhode Island. Each case study focuses on a different aspect of contemporary PCCR politics. The Maryland case study focuses on the state legislature undermining PCCR as an institution, the Alaska case study focuses on the extraordinary amount of campaign spending per capita in Alaska compared to other U.S. states with any type of non-PCCR referendum on the ballot, and the Rhode Island case study focuses on campaign messaging strategies, including the proven template for defeating PCCR referendums.

An essential read for students and scholars of state and federal politics.

J.H. Snider is the leading American expert on the intellectual history and politics of the Periodic Constitutional Convention Referendum and editor of The State Constitutional Convention Clearinghouse, with a focus on state-specific clearinghouses when a particular state has a Constitutional Convention Referendum on the ballot.
