Book Description
South Carolina's current constitution is a unique reflection of America's cultural and political history. It has roots dating back to the state's original colonial charter, and today's text comprises an uneasy alliance of its post-Civil War history, its late 19th century return to segregation, and the post-1960s liberalizing reforms. Graham's discussion of this state constitution illustrates the success of positive political forces in a Deep South state often stereotyped nationally as negative or backward. His conclusions challenge students and advocates of constitutional reform to continue revision efforts, making this volume an important contribution to the study of state politics and the principles of democratic government. This volume traces the history and evolution of South Carolina's constitution over three centuries and offers a detailed, section-by-section commentary on its current text. Graham references legal cases, commission reports, historical scholarship, current debates, and other relevant material to highlight the changing interpretations of the constitution over time. A bibliographic essay and list of cases illustrate significant sources for further study.

Book Description
Six Against the State In 1895, Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina attempted to solidify his political power. He proposed to rewrite the South Carolina Constitution to deny African Americans their constitutional rights and make racial segregation the law of the state. Six Black leaders--Robert Anderson, Isaiah Reed, Robert Smalls, William J. Whipper, James Wigg and Thomas E. Miller--went to the state capitol in the face of insult and ridicule to make an eloquent stand against these developments. The erudite and forceful addresses of these men drew worldwide headlines but are largely forgotten today. Author Damon L. Fordham attempts to rectify that omission and inspire generations to come.

Book Description
Underwood (law, U. of South Carolina) continues his exploration of the historical development of the allocation of power under the Constitution of South Carolina. This volume traces the evolution of local government power and its relationship to the state government from early colonial to contemporary times. It examines the primitive origins of local government, and also abortive attempts to reform the historically fragmented approach to local government.
