Amendments In Review - A Series From WUOT News

WUOT News, Matt Shafer Powell

When early voting begins this week, Tennesseans will be asked to approve or reject four proposed amendments to the state constitution. All this week, WUOT News will give you a voter’s guide to each of these amendments.

Our series begins Monday, October 13, with the path a constitutional amendment takes from idea to the ballot box. University of Tennessee College of Law dean Doug Blaze spoke with WUOT All Things Considered host Brandon Hollingsworth.

Editor's note: The process of passing a state constitutional amendment is complicated - so complicated, in fact, that we accidentally misstated it in our interview with Dr. Blaze. We've - ahem - amended the interview to make sure you don't get as confused as we did.

Tuesday, October 14: Amendment One with Mary English, Howard Baker Center for Public Policy

Editor's note: An earlier edition of this interview misstated the margin by which the 2001 income tax proposal failed. The current edition has been edited to more accurately reflect that outcome.

Friday, October 17: Amendment Four with journalist Tom Humphrey
