Hawke v. Smith, 253 U.S. 221 (1920), was a United States Supreme Court case coming out of the state of Ohio. It challenged the constitutionality of a state referendum to overturn the legislature's vote to adopt the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Court held unanimously that while states are free to adopt provisions to allow their legislatures' actions to be reversed through popular votes, that did not apply to the adoption of federal constitutional amendments since that power was granted the legislatures by the Constitution, not the people of the individuals states, and the Constitution did not provide for any role to be played by the people in the consideration of amendments.
