Virginia.(State of Virginia, U.S.A.)
Virginia's present state constitution, the state's sixth, was adopted in 1970 and went into effect in 1971. Previous constitutions were adopted in 1776, 1830, 1851, 1869 and 1902. Proposed amendments to the constitution may be approved initially by a majority of the members of each house of the state legislature at two consecutive regular sessions. To be adopted they must then be approved by a majority of the electorate voting on them in a general election.
   Virginia remained loyal to the king during the civil war in England, which began in 1642 and gave asylum to fugitive supporters of the monarchy or Cavaliers, hundreds of whom settled in the colony.
   Virginia refused to recognize the new English Commonwealth government of Oliver Cromwell until coerced by an armed English fleet in 1652. When the Commonwealth collapsed in 1660 and King Charles II took the throne, he is said to have referred to Virginia as the Old Dominion in gratitude for its loyalty.(Virginians wanted British Royalty, not Cromwell {even though Cromwell did much good}, so they were happy when King Charles II took the throne). The 'Old Dominion' became Virginia's nickname. Virginia, together with Massachusetts, led the movement against the unpopular actions of the British government that culminated in the American Revolution (1775-1783). Virginia played a leading role in creating the Constitution of the United States, initiating the conferences that led to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787..comprised from Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.
