New York Constitution

The New York Constitution is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure and powers of New York State government, as well as the rights of its citizens. It establishes three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This framework ensures a system of checks and balances. The Constitution also includes amendments that protect individual rights, similar to the U.S. Constitution. It is periodically revised, and citizens can propose changes through a formal amendment process. Overall, the New York Constitution serves as a guide for governance and the legal rights of individuals in the state.
