California Constitution

The California Constitution is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure and function of California's state government. It establishes the rights of citizens, sets up the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial), and details the powers and responsibilities of each branch. The Constitution also includes provisions for local governments and various important rights, such as the right to free speech and equal protection under the law. Additionally, it can be amended through a vote by the people or the legislature, allowing it to evolve with societal changes and needs.
