In plain language

This amendment corrects a grammatical error in the Delaware Constitution.

The amendment adds the word 'a' to fix a grammatical error in the Delaware Constitution. This correction aligns the text with earlier versions of the Constitution.

Summary

This Amendment corrects a grammatical error in Section 18 of Article I of the Delaware Constitution by adding "a" between "in" and "manner". At the Constitutional Convention of 1897, the Committee of the Whole adopted the phrase “in a manner”, which was consistent with previous versions of this Section that appeared in the 1792 and 1831 versions of the Delaware Constitution. However, when Section 18 of Article I was presented to the Convention for final approval, the phrase read “in manner". This error, brought to the attention of Delaware Law Related Education Center by a member of the Delaware Bar, is being documented by a University of Delaware student as an aid for teaching Delaware students about the process of amending their state constitution.
