Abstract:
North Carolina residents voted on whether to create a Department of Justice under the authority of the General Assembly. The Department of Justice would consolidate different agencies responsible for criminal investigations and upholding punishments. Seven states prior to North Carolina (Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Dakota) approved of developing such a department.
