"This is the only, modern comprehensive constitutional history of any state. From the very beginning in 1606, when James I chartered the Virginia Company to establish a commercial outpost on the Atlantic coast of North America, through the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the fundamental constitutions of the colony and state have evolved and changed as the demographic, economic, political, and cultural characteristics of Virginia have changed. Elements of the colonial constitution influenced the character of the state's first constitution in 1776, and changing relationships between the people and their government, as well as relationships between the state and federal governments have influenced how the state's constitution has evolved and what that means to the people who have lived and still live in Virginia"--
