It includes conventions that proposed constitutions that were never adopted. It also incorporates the proceedings of special councils held to propose amendments to constitutions, and some conventions are covered across multiple entries. The author attempts to give as full a picture as possible of each convention, the political and social issues that led to their occurrence and the impact of the constitutional changes they proposed and enacted.
