In 1972, the citizens of the State of Montana entrenched within their State Constitution the right to a clean and healthful environment, as well as several additional environmental guarantees. This constitutionalization of environmental values signified a shift in Montana’s identity from a historic natural resources colony, to a state with environmental consciousness. This case study utilized two qualitative research approaches, narrative history and document analysis, to conclude that Montanans’ development of an environmental ethic, and the consequential enshrinement of environmental rights, resulted from a combination of distinct geographic, political, historical, and social phenomena. Although Montana courts have developed a relatively strong precedent for implementing these environmental provisions, the true strength of these rights remains tentative and depends on future judicial review and citizen involvement.
