Abstract: | Massive changes in the effective constitution—primarily bearing on the economic powers of the federal government, primarily
in the past 60 years—have revived interest in the problem of constitutional maintenance. This paper finds the conventional
American theory of constitutional maintenance to have at least three major problems. The paper then suggests three propositions
about constitutional maintenance, building on the developing theory ofproprietary government. The most important conclusion is how little we know about this subject.
