Gerard N. Magliocca, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, has posted Taming the 1960s: The Bayh Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments:
This Article examines the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments from 1964-1971 under Chairman Birch Bayh's leadership. Topics covered include the Subcommittee's hearings on the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, one-person, one-vote, Miranda warnings, school prayer, direct presidential election, and the Twenty-Sixth Amendment. My argument is that the Bayh Subcommittee was a linchpin in the constitutional transformation of the 1960s and pioneered new methods in evaluating and achieving higher law reform.
