Episode 166: A Constitution to Suit the Most Radical

The recreation of how the territorial House chambers would have looked for the 1910 Constitutional Convention, as seen at the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix (apologizes for the photobombed in the foreground).

Its leader was disparaged as a radical, its makeup was overwhelmingly left-leaning, and the document it produced drew the ire of Congress and the president, not to mention the scorn of several men involved with it. Yep, Arizona’s constitution convention in the fall of 1910 certainly was historic.
