indicate that the debates that took place on the very
question which is being asked by Delegate Case in New
York, brought forth an affirmative answer and in all the
dialogue in regard to the New York Constitution, there
was little that was not affirmative in terms of this state
ment.
It read like this: "The protection and the educa-
tion of the people of the state against unfair, inequitable
or dishonest sales, marketing and financing practices are
and shall continue to be state concerns."
Another sentence, "The legislature shall provide
for the implementation of this section."
True, the first portion of this was laudatory,
but the latter part of this did bring to the legislature
a direct mandate for action in answer to your question,
and the New York State Convention that went through this
dialogue answered to the fact that it belonged to the
Constitution and secondly, that it could be enforced.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case.
DELEGATE CASE: What Constitution was that that
you were talking about?
