1972 Commission Papers
The delegates to the 1971-1972 Montana Constitutional Convention needed historical, legal and comparative information about the Montana Constitution. Recognizing this need, the 1971 Legislative Assembly created the Constitutional Convention Commission and directed it to assemble and prepare essential information for the Convention. The Constitutional Convention Commission prepared a series of documents, including these "occasional papers." Report number 4 is missing.
