Michigan State Constitution

The Michigan Constitution is the fundamental legal framework that outlines how the state is governed. It establishes the structure of government, including the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, defines citizens’ rights, and sets rules for state operations. The current constitution was adopted in 1963, replacing previous versions, and can be amended through voter-approved proposals. It ensures that government actions align with democratic principles and protects individual freedoms while providing a blueprint for effective state governance.
