The Alabama County Court, Amendment 7, also known as Amendment 7, was on the ballot in Alabama on November 2, 1948, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed to amend the constitution: Article 6, Section 168. The amendment proposes that the said article and section would not be applicable to Precinct 3 in Houston County or to any precincts lying within the City of Dothan, a municipality having more than 1,500 inhabitants; nor would the legislature authorize or provide for the election or appointment of justices of the peace in such precinct or precincts. The legislature may create and establish an inferior court for Houston County and confer upon it Countywide jurisdiction of all matters, causes, actions, and proceedings of a criminal or civil nature, whether legal or equitable, and, by general or local laws, regulate the procedure, costs and charges thereof.[1]
