Minnesota Constitution

The Minnesota Constitution is the fundamental law that establishes how the state government operates, outlining the structure of the government, the rights of its residents, and the principles guiding the state. It divides power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and sets forth the election process, state funding, and civil rights. Amendments can be made through a formal process, ensuring it reflects the state's evolving needs. Essentially, it serves as the legal foundation that guarantees Minnesotans' rights and provides a framework for governance.
