8vo, original printed wrappers, 65 pp. Some mild creasing, some minor soiling and wear to covers, a few embossed stamps to cover and first few pages; some soiling and wear to page edges; very good or better. This is a significant document, since it is the constitution that brought Colorado into the Union as the 38th state in 1876. "The pamphlet covers all aspects of the internal workings of government, but it also raises the issue of giving women the right to vote. It states that the General Assembly should consider giving women the right to vote at their first session. Unfortunately, since only men could vote on this issue, it failed to pass in 1877.
