Louisiana Constitution

The Louisiana Constitution is the fundamental legal document that outlines how the state government operates, its structure, powers, and responsibilities. It establishes the roles of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and sets rules for elections, laws, and public services. Louisiana’s constitution is unique because it is frequently amended, allowing flexible updates reflecting the state's evolving needs. It ensures transparency, accountability, and governs the rights of citizens, organizations, and government officials. Essentially, it serves as the supreme law guiding how the state functions and protects the rights of Louisianans.
