Path to the ballot
On August 2, 1921, voters approved a constitutional convention question. The convention convened on May 16, 1922, and adjourned on November 6, 1923. It was composed of two delegates from each of the 34 senatorial districts, along with 15 delegates elected at large. Rather than drafting an entirely new constitution, the convention decided to propose a series of 21 separate amendments.[1]
