Of the people, by the people and for the people: Montana’s 1972 Constitutional Convention

Montana State Legislature

Ten, twelve? How many lawsuits challenging laws passed during the 2021 legislative session will emerge? The Republican majority’s behavior during the session exemplified extreme partisanship, disregard for citizen input and little appreciation of Montana’s Constitution.

Perhaps a history lesson would be helpful to understand the significance of our state Constitution and why their assault on it is so disturbing.

The Montana Constitution Preamble states: “We, the people of Montana, grateful of God for the quiet beauty of our state, for the grandeur of our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains, and desiring to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and to secure the blessings of liberty for this and future generations, do ordain and establish this constitution.”
