It really depends on which state you live in. Some state it is easy to amend their constitutions while with others the process is difficult.
To change the US Constitution you need a 2/3rds majority from Congress. I believe with state constitutions you have to have a petition with a certain number of signatures, which is hard to do, then the signatures must be checked to make sure they are authentic meaning the people who have signed the petition are from the state and they actually exist. Then it goes to the State, which they will look at the petition and I believe the State gives it to lawyers too look at and then a Judge must also look at it. If the judge disagrees, the process must start all over again.
Hopefully this helped and good luck.
In the <em>Lochner v. New York</em> case of 1905, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not <u>impose limits on the number of hours that employees could work.</u>
Further details:
A law passed in 1895 in the state of New York mandated that bakery employees could not work more than 10 hours a day and not more than 60 hours in a week. A bakery owner named Joseph Lochner filed suit against the state, claiming the law was unconstitutional. At the time, the Supreme Court decision was based on the idea that such laws violated an employee's "freedom of contract." The majority of justices saw such a right implicit in the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, thinking that if employees agreed to work a heavy number of hours it was their right to do so.
In the time since the Lochner case, the Supreme Court has gone in the other direction, allowing laws that impose reasonable restrictions on businesses. An example would be <em>West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish </em>(1937), which upheld the constitutionality of a minimum wage law passed in Washington state.
