For mutli-state research, you should start with the Subject Compilations of State Laws: An Annotated Bibliography, by Cheryl Rae Nyberg. A tutorial of that database is available here. You may wish to consult a database such as Westlaw or LexisNexis, which will let you search across multiple jurisdictions. In addition, Lexis and Westlaw provide 50 State Surveys, like the National Survey of State Laws. Other works we recommend are:
- State Constitutions of the United States, by Robert L. Maddex and Thorpe's Federal and State Constitutions.
- Early State Constitutions: Earliest state constitutions in image files.
- Oceana: Recent revisions of state constitutions (connect via IP access)
- Exploring initiative and referendum law: selected state research guides, edited by Beth Williams.
- Westlaw's All State and General Municipal Law Forms, Clauses & Checklists; MUNFORM-ALL
- Making of Modern Law: Primary Sources, 1620-1926: early state codes, constitutional conventions, city charters, law dictionaries, and colonial records.
- A list of agency databases by state here.
