“Constitution (Amendment No. 10) Act 1928”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Constitution (Amendment No. 10) Act, 1928 was an Act amending the Constitution of the Irish Free State, abolishing virtually all provisions for direct democracy in the constitution.^[1]

It repealed art. 47 of the constitution which allowed for reference of Bills to referendum following a petition of one-twentieth of the electorate. It also repealed art. 48 which allowed proposals for legislation or constitutional amendment to be commenced by petition.^[2] The Act was a response to attempts by the anti-Treaty Fianna Fáil opposition to use the direct democracy provisions to unravel the Treaty settlement.^[3]

The Act became obsolete on the repeal of the 1922 Constitution in 1937, and has formally been repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 2016.^[4]
