		The Connecticut Supreme Court was one of the first of the state high courts, along with California's and New Jersey's, to invalidate a state education finance system, in Horton v.
		The court found that the Connecticut Constitution requires the state to "provide a substantially equal educational opportunity" and declared the existing system unconstitutional because it was based primarily on local property taxes with no significant equalizing state support and, therefore, generated large per-pupil spending disparities.
		In this rare state constitution-based desegregation decision, the court read the Connecticut Constitution's education clause conjointly with its clause prohibiting segregation to hold that extreme racial and ethnic isolation deprived the plaintiff schoolchildren of their right to a substantially equal educational opportunity and required the state to take remedial measures.

		Constitution Plaza came into being in the early 1960's as part of an urban renewal project.

	The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut - The Constitution State - Significance
		The manner in which this was done in Connecticut, and the character of the constitution there made in 1639, six years after the first English settlement, render it a memorable event in the development of American government.
		This first constitution of the New World was simple in its terms, comprehensive in its policy, methodical in its arrangement, beautiful in its adaptation of parts to a whole, of means to an end.
