1972 Commission Studies
The delegates to the 1971-1972 Montana Constitutional Convention needed historical, legal and comparative information about the Montana Constitution.

The Constitutional Convention Commission prepared a series of documents, including these studies. Reports number 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are missing.
