	Constitutional Union Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Constitutional Union Party was a political party in the United States created in 1860.
		Senator John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, Henry Clay's successor in border-state Whiggery, set up a meeting among fifty conservative, pro-compromise congressmen in December 1859, which led to a convention in Baltimore the week of May 9, 1860, one week before the Republican Party convention.
		In the 1860 election, the Constitutional Unionists received nearly all of their votes from former southern Whigs, and managed to win three states (Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee), although this was largely due to the split in Democratic votes between Stephen A. Douglas and John C. Breckinridge.

	Swans Commentary: Why Scotland Must Put Independence First, by Joe Middleton - joemid01
		An Independence Convention modelled on the Scottish Constitutional Convention (which established the arguments for the current devolved settlement) was originally suggested by activists from the SNP and SSP at a fringe meeting at SNP conference.
		The independent Scottish parties (ie those who are not run from London) do have some similar political objectives and all are unquestionably on the political left however it is up to these parties to decide how or if or to what extent they wish to work together.
		Given the fact that all the Scottish parties are on the political left, it would seem likely that an independent Scotland would be further to the left than the current UK government, but at the end of the day it is up to the people of Scotland to decide the politics they want post independence.

	The Samuel Griffith Society: Volume 2: Chapter Eleven
		Considered as a handbook prepared for a meeting that was to be described as a Constitutional Convention, the publication is a curious mixture of emotional political appeals and argument.
		This Committee was created by decision of the Government, not by Parliament, and the parliamentary situation simply was that the Bill remained on the notice paper, while outside Parliament, discussions proceeded about the constitutional changes which the Bill had proposed.
		It was in substance the one which had been drafted at the Constitution Convention and which the States had agreed to pass.
