Note 781 — Chapter XVIII · PROBLEMS OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY (continued 2)

Dike, "Uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws," Arena, II, 399-408, gives a valuable discussion of the two methods of procedure. See also Bennett, "National Divorce Legislation," Forum, II, 429-38; Stewart, "Our Mar. and Div. Laws," Pop. Sci. Monthly, XXIII, 232, 233; and Jameson, "Divorce," North Am. Rev., CXXXVI, 325, all favoring a constitutional amendment; also North, "Uniform Mar. and Div. Laws," ibid., CXLIV, 429-31; Lloyd, Law of Divorce, 269 ff.; Johnson, Remarks upon Uniformity of State Legislation; Snyder, Problem of Uniform Legislation, 3 ff., favoring state action. In his Geography of Marriage, 182 ff., Snyder favors concert of action among the states and a prohibitory amendment restricting or defining the maximum number of causes for divorce which a state might sanction.
