  • Original bill file for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8

    Absent of terms such as “women” or “sex”, the language for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 appears intentionally neutral, labeled as “A Resolution to Propose to the People of the State of California an Amendment to Section One of Article Two of the Constitution in Relation to the Rights of Suffrage.” However, feelings about the amendment were decidedly strong. The arguments for and against Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 were closely watched by suffrage organizations, with crowds of onlookers filling the gallery and the lobby of the Capitol. Authored by Republican State Senator Charles W. Bell from Pasadena, Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 was passed by the Senate on February 2, 1911, receiving 66 ayes and 12 noes. Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 would be introduced to the public as Proposition 4 on the ballot for the special election scheduled for October 10, 1911, along with a variety of other reform amendments passed by the Senate.

    Caption: "Subtreasury, Wall Street, New York. Washingion [sic] Statue Marking the Spot Where Washington took his Oath of Office, April 30, 1789, Aug. 6, 1934." The original building on this site, constructed in 1700, served as New York's City Hall, then as the Capitol for the newly-created United States under the Constitution of 1789, and was the site of George Washington's inauguration as the first U.S. President. The original building was demolished in 1812, but a new building, designed to house the U.S. Custom House for the Port of New York, was opened in 1842. It is this building that is seen in the photograph. The new building subsequently housed one of six U.S. sub-treasuries between 1862 and 1920. A statue of George Washington (John Quincy Adams Ward, sculptor) was erected in front of the building in 1882, to commemorate the approximate site of Washington's inauguration.
