Reihe: Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States

The Arkansas State Constitution provides an outstanding historical account of Arkansas's five different constitutions, conventions, and amendments. Kay C. Goss presents the official text with an accompanying article-by-article commentary, providing readers with important information about the origins of each constitutional provision and amendment, as well as ways in which they are interpreted. The Arkansas State Constitution is an essential
reference guide for readers who seek a rich account of Arkansas's constitutional evolution. 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 new 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.
