In "The North Carolina State Constitution," originally published in 1993, John Orth provides a definitive study of the historical context and significant features of each of the state's three successive constitutions.The book begins with a history of the constitutions of 1776, 1868, and 1971. Orth then reproduces the full text of the current constitution as amended through 1992. In a section-by-section commentary, he explains the origins of each provision and traces how each has been interpreted by the courts.
