Sommario/riassunto: | South Dakota was the first state in the nation's history to adopt the Initiative and Referendum, making it permissible for the people to initiate a constitutional amendment, on a statewide level in 1898. While it continues to be a controversial procedure, Patrick Garry discusses this in depth while providing the only definitive reference resource on the South Dakota Constitution, including all significant court decisions interpreting each Section. |
