The last time we had a call for a Constitutional Convention was 1988.  The Secretary of State at the time was Jim Edgar.  I pulled the ballot page from our digital archives and found that the language contained far less, shall we say, commentary than the language on the current question.   You can view it here. Further, the “Notice” language which the State Board of Elections included in their certification this year and which I presume was submitted by Secretary White, was not on the 1988 ballot.
