Delaware House bill in Session 153.
Status: introduced. Latest action: June 18, 2026.
HA 1 to HS 1 for HB 320.
This Amendment corrects a grammatical error in Section 18 of Article I of the Delaware Constitution by adding "a"" between ""in"" and ""manner"". At the Constitutional Convention of 1897, the Committee of the Whole adopted the phrase “in a manner”, which was consistent with previous versions of this Section that appeared in the 1792 and 1831 versions of the Delaware Constitution. However, when Section 18 of Article I was presented to the Convention for final approval, the phrase read “in manner"". This error, brought to the attention of Delaware Law Related Education Center by a member of the Delaware Bar, is being documented by a University of Delaware student as an aid for teaching Delaware students about the process of amending their state constitution."
