New Hampshire Constitution

The New Hampshire Constitution is the fundamental legal document that establishes the state's government structure, guarantees rights for its citizens, and outlines the rules for how laws are made and enforced. It sets up the main branches—legislative, executive, and judicial—and defines their powers and responsibilities. The constitution also protects individual freedoms, such as speech, religion, and voting rights, while ensuring government accountability. It can be amended through a specific process involving proposals and approval by voters, and it serves as the highest legal authority in the state.
