Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n

New York had five charters during its colonial era. \u00a0Since independence, it has had 9 proposing state constitutional conventions\u00a0and\u00a02 state constitutional conventions to ratify Federal law (for the original U.S. Constitution in 1788 and the 21st Amendment repealing prohibition in 1933). Since 1821, it has had 12 popular calls to convene a state constitutional convention, including the upcoming 2017 referendum. Since 1846, it has had at least one call or convention every 20 years. Since 1801, New York\u2019s legislature has not restricted a convention\u2019s agenda by statute,\u00a0and since 1846 has been\u00a0constitutionally prohibited from doing so for conventions called via the periodic referendum.<\/p>\n
