Profiting by the lessons of many failures, as well as by the experiences of sister commonwealths, the members had now at last been able to produce an instrument which satisfied their constituents. It retained the old Bill of Rights and the septen- nial referendum, but introduced elsewhere many new features. Two- thirds of the electors having voted in its favor it became effective in June, 1793. "It proved so satisfactory to the people, " says Plumer, 1 "that, though at every septennial term the... question of revision was propounded, it was not until 1850 that another convention, the fifth in the series, was called. " No further convention was held until 1902, and it submitted only amendments, 2 leaving the instrument of 1793 intact in its funda- mental features. 3 Thus at last was attained that "permanent form of government" for which the statesmen of New Hampshire had for so many years been striving. But while accomplishing this the people of the Granite State were also, perhaps unconsciously, developing and perpetuating a system of popular participation in constitution-making which was of far greater importance than the fate of any single instrument.
