As as result, the user is advised that some errors in character recognition may have resulted within the text. >> OPEN-END RESPONSES FOR THE 1987 PILOT WAVES 1 AND 2 N.B. 1. The first part of this section is a memo by John Zaller, "Cognitive Responses to Survey Questions" which documents and discusses the coding scheme for the cognitive experiments on the Pilot Study. Those who plan to use these data should, without fail, read this memo. 2. The Zaller memo is followed by the open-end master codes: a) direction of response b) emotional intensity and elaboration of thought c) Frame of reference and content code 3. Numerous variables refer to PF 10. PF 10 is a function key used by CATI interviewers in recording comments of respondents. These side comments have been coded for this study. 4. In Wave 2 variables, respondents who were interviewed in Wave 1 but not re-interviewed in Wave 2 have had data variables padded with O's. This is not explicitly stated in the variable documentation. COGNITIVE RESPONSES TO SURVEY QUESTIONS The 1987 Pilot study carried a series of questions designed to elicit information about what is on people's minds as they respond to survey questions. The basic method was to ask individuals a standard policy question and then to use open-ended probes tofind out what exactly the individual thought about that issue.

II either one turns out to be false, the plan will have to be reassessed. First Assumption: Congress will adjourn on or about October 11. Second Assumption: Governor Rockefeller will have been confirmed on or before October 11 and will be available, full time, for political activities only thereafter. (No reason, in my judgment, why he cannot take some part during the confirmation process; but it would have to be mostly short hops and largely for incumbents or in non-incumbency races.) The theme of your campaigning, I would further assume, will be that until the economy begins to turn the corner, we cannot afford exotic government programs that entail major additional outlays, and that you need help in the Congress to set our economic house in order and trim Federal commitments to our capabilities.

  • Constitutional Convention, Leblslative Amend Ment, and Popular Initiative
    A GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDING PROCESS IN MASSACHUSETTS The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Hassnclnisctta lias been amended 106 times since its adoption in 1780. There are tliree methods by which tlie Constitution may be amended: Constitutional Convention, leBlslative amend ment, and popular Initiative. All three methods require ratification by tlie voters before a Constitutional amendment Is adopted. The original Constitution provided that two thirds of the qualified voters of the state could vote to convene n Constitutional Convention during or after 1795 (Chapter VI, Article X). Constitutional conventions have been held under this provision in 1820, 1853, and 1917. In 1821, a Constitutional Convention cstabllslied the right of tlie General Court to propose legislative amendments.(AiiuMuhnonts, Article IX). Such amendments must be approved by two successively rJticted leg.lslntures before they can be submitted to the voters for their approval. Most Constitutional amendments now originate in tlic Ceneral Court. The popular initiative was established in 1918 by a Const i t ut 1 onal Convention (Amendments, Article XLVIII). The initiative allows ten qualified voters of the Commonwealth to submit Consitutional amendments and laws to the people for approval or rejection. An initiative petition must first go before the General Court. If the petition receives favorable action by joint sessions of two successively elected legislatures, it is placed on the ballot for voter action. If tlie measure is approved by a majority of voters voting on the amendment (which must be equal in number to at least 30% of the total number of ballots cast in that state clt»ctlon) the amendment becomes a part of the Constitution.
