BLAINE'S NAME IN VAIN?: STATE CONSTITUTIONS, SCHOOL CHOICE, AND CHARITABLE CHOICE JILL GOLDENZIELf ABSTRACT This article explores the growing controversy over "no-funding pro- visions, " state constitutionalprovisions that restrict statefunding of reli- gious institutions. These provisions, allegedly rooted in anti-Catholic bigotry, may threaten state implementation of school choice programs and faith-based initiatives involving public funding of religious social service organizations. This article argues that these no-funding provi- sions, which are commonly termed "Blaine Amendments," "Little Blaines," or "Baby Blaines," are often unrelated to the failed federal Blaine Amendment, and do not always share the federal amendment's infamous anti-Catholic history. In the first study of its type, this article surveys the language and history of constitutionalprovisions prohibiting funding of religious institutions in allfifty states, and details the constitu- tional history andjudicial interpretationof these provisions in eight rep- resentative states: Ohio, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Michi- gan, Vermont, and Maine. This article concludes that the fates of school vouchers andfaith-based initiatives will not rest on the so-called "Blaine Amendments," but on the ideological and jurisprudentialtendencies of state judiciaries.

  • Chapter 1 the Constitutional Framework of Ohio State Government
    Chapter 1 The Constitutional Framework of Ohio State Government Image courtesy of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board Advisory and Review Square Capitol the of courtesy Image Statehouse Map Room What is a Constitution? A constitution is the fundamental law of a state or nation. It is a written document agreed to by the people and thus derives its authority from those it governs. A constitution establishes the nature and character of the state or national government. It organizes government into various branches, prescribes their powers, and specifies the extent to which these powers may be exercised. The Ohio Constitution is the fundamental law of Ohio and is subject only to the restrictions of the United States Constitution, acts of Congress, and international treaties to which the United States is a party. It may be changed only by voter approval of proposed amendments. Like the United States Constitution, the Ohio Constitution organizes government into three separate branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. Each branch is independent of the other two and has defined powers and responsibilities. All laws enacted by the legislative branch must comply with the Constitution’s provisions; those that do not are unenforceable. LSC A Guidebook for Ohio Legislators Page | 1 Chapter 1: The Constitutional Framework of the Ohio State Government Ohio’s first constitution was approved by Congress in 1802 as a first step to Ohio’s admission to the Union as a state. Ohio’s second constitution, the Constitution of 1851, as subsequently amended, is today’s fundamental law of Ohio. A constitution is the fundamental law of a state or nation.

  • History of the Executive Veto in the Ohio Constitution* Alonzo H
    The Ohio State University LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 2 MARCI, 1936 NUMBER 2 HISTORY OF THE EXECUTIVE VETO IN THE OHIO CONSTITUTION* ALONZO H. TuTTLEt The convention which met in 1787 to draft a federal con- stitution never seriously questioned the wisdom of providing for an executive veto and this in spite of the fact that only four of the states had at that time any such provision in their con- stitutions. Only two members, Franklin and Gorham seemed to have spoken against any veto power whatever, while a few, Wilson, Reed, Hamilton and Gouveneur Morris argued for an absolute veto power. The real difference of opinion, however, was between those who favored a qualified veto power in the President alone and those who favored joining with the Presi- dent a suitable number of the judiciary in the exercise of this power: Realizing that a veto power would be given, Wilson and Madison, probably the two ablest members of the conven- tion, led the fight for the joining of the judiciary and the execu- tive. Not satisfied with the indecisive vote of four states to three against their proposal, they brought the matter up again and again, and even after the matter had seemingly been settled for good, late in the proceedings of the convention Madison * The legal aspects of the "Executive Veto" will be treated in an article by Professor Tuttle to appear in a succeeding number of the OHiO STATE UNrVERSITY LAw JOURNAL. t Professor of Law, Ohio State University. 99 100 LAW JOURNAL - MARCH, 1936 proposed that all laws of Congress should be submitted to the President and the Supreme Court separately.

  • Constitutions and Legislation 1
    Section IV CONSTITUTIONS AND LEGISLATION 1. Constitutions STATE CONSTITUTIONS AND CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION, 1976-1977 By Albert L. Sturm* FORTY-TWO STATES took some form of official action on proposed changes in their constitutions during 1976-77. Compared with similar activity in the two past biennia, fewer states proposed alterations in their fundamental laws. Notwithstanding some reduction in activity, the level of concern'for modernizing state constitutions remained relatively high. Proposed changes ranged from minor alterations, such as conforming the state documents to the requirements of national law, to proposal and approval in Georgia of an editorial revision of the entire constitution. Three of the four methods of initiating changes in state constitutions expressly authorized by these documents were used to propose amendments and revisions during the biennium: legislative proposal, initiative proposal, and constitutional convention. Tables 2, 3, and 4 summarize salient procedural constitutional requirements for their use. No proposals were originated during the biennium by the fourth method, proposal by constitutional commission, which is expressly authorized only in the Florida constitution. Of major interest and significance during the period, however, was the establishment of the Florida Constitution Revision Commission in 1977 with a mandate to study the constitution and to submit needed changes to the voters in 1978. The work of this body is discussed later in this chapter. In five states, the electorate voted on the question of calling a constitutional convention; three electorates approved the call and two rejected it. Tennessee was the only state in which a constitutional convention was in session during the biennium. Its proposals will be submitted to the voters in 1978.
