	Minnesota
		In 1897 the Minnesota Legislature unintentionally frustrated the initiative process, as well as a great many future proposals to amend the state’s constitution, by proposing a supermajority requirement for ratifying amendments to the constitution.
		The first Minnesota IandR amendment to get through the legislature was on the ballot in 1914 and was approved by a three to one margin, but lost because the "yes" votes were still less than a majority of all the votes cast in the election.
		In 1916, the legislature passed an IandR amendment again, and voters supported it by a margin of nearly four to one, but those voting in favor were only 45 percent of all voters at the polls, so it lost again.

	Bench & Bar of Minnesota
		As a result of this amendment, the Minnesota Legislature provided a window of opportunity for injured parties to pursue common law liability claims that had previously been denied by a long line of Minnesota Supreme Court decisions.
		In 1995, for the first time since the 1990 legislative amendment, the Minnesota Court of Appeals was asked to address the issue of whether social hosts age 21 or older are absolutely liable for injuries caused by illegally furnishing alcohol to a person under age 21.
		Unless the Legislature revisits the act, it is clear that a claim against a social host is preempted, even if a nominal fee is collected for the alcohol that is being served or provided, because the Civil Damages Act applies only to commercial vendors or distributors of intoxicating liquor.
