ard by a modo ot proceeding very
different from, the particular way
of amendment prescribed IN tn.
prc-eSlsting instrument. SO, like.
wisc, the constitution OF Delaware,
in 1892, and that of Mary IN
1900. In each OF these cases, the
constitution Was framed by Il CON

old Instruments, as to the mode oi
amendment, were either IN part or
wholly departed from. Aud these

state Constitutions. Not a few oi
