Michigan Constitution

The Michigan Constitution is the fundamental legal document that establishes how the state government operates, outlining the structure of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It sets the rules for elections, rights of citizens, and state responsibilities. The constitution can be amended through a formal process involving proposals, votes, and approval. It aims to protect individual rights while providing a framework for governance and accountability. Essentially, it functions as Michigan’s legal blueprint, ensuring government power is balanced and that citizens’ rights are maintained.
