Since Illinois became a state in 1818, it has been a microcosm of the country at every stage of its development, from its status as a "free" state in antebellum America to a state rich in agriculture and industry whose goods and services now travel the world. Illinois' four state constitutions have reflected its changing values. Illinois is currently one of the few states that have adopted a new constitution since World War II. This 1970 constitution has become a model for countries in Central and Eastern Europe seeking examples of modern American constitutions. The Illinois State Constitution traces the history of the state's constitution from its statehood in 1818 to the adoption of the state's fourth constitution in 1970. Ann M. Lousin, who has been involved in Illinois constitutional development and government for over four decades, provides provision-by-provision commentary and analysis of the state's current constitution, covering the Preamble, the Bill of Rights, and the various articles and amendments, including a survey of case law under each provision. Previously published by Greenwood, this title has been brought back in to circulation by Oxford University Press with new verve. Re-printed with standardization of content organization in order to facilitate research across the series, this title, as with all titles in the series, is set to join the dynamic revision cycle of The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States. The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Following the format of other volumes in the highly praised Reference Guides to the State Constitutions of the United States series, this guide offers an analysis of the Illinois state constitution and its role in the lives of Prairie State residents and their governing officials. When Illinois adopted a new constitution in 1970, it achieved one of the rare successes in total state constitutional revision in the second half of the 20th century. This volume provides an introduction to the history and law of the Illinois Constitution, including that most recent revision. The Illinois State Constitution: A Reference Guide traces the history of Illinois constitutionalism from statehood in 1818 to the adoption of the state's fourth constitution in 1970. Ann M. Lousin, who has been a party to Illinois constitutional development and government since 1970, provides a provision-by-provision commentary and analysis of the state's current constitution, covering the Preamble, the Bill of Rights, and the various articles and amendments, including a survey of case law under each provision. A bibliographic essay and list of cases offer significant sources for further study.

Illinois' sixth Constitutional Convention convened in Springfield on Dec. 8, 1969. A total of 116 members - two elected from each senatorial district - met at a nonpartisan convention to revise, alter or amend the 1870 Illinois Constitution. After nine months of in-depth study and debate, the members presented their work product to the people - a constitution they considered to be workable for 25 years, 50 years - or as in the case of the 1870 Constitution - 100 years.
