Title
A name given to the resource
Virginia Constitution, 1868
Subject
The topic of the resource
Virginia Constitution
Description
An account of the resource
As required by federal law to be readmitted to the United States, a convention met to write a new state constitution. It reformed local government on the more democratic model of the New England township; it required the General Assembly to create a statewide system of free public schools for all children; it granted the governor the right to veto bills that the assembly had passed; and it granted the vote to "Every male citizen of the United States, twenty-one years old," except some supporters of the Confederacy. The constitution as approved by the convention in April 1868 disfranchised some former Confederates, which resulted in a delay in holding a ratification referendum. When the referendum was held in July 1869, voters ratified the constitution by a vote of 210,585 to 9,136, and they rejected the clauses disfranchising former Confederates.
