Pennsylvania Constitution

The Pennsylvania Constitution is the fundamental legal document that establishes the structure of the state's government, defines citizens' rights, and sets the rules for laws and elections. It creates the three branches—legislature, executive, and judiciary—and outlines their powers and responsibilities. The constitution also guarantees rights such as freedom of speech and voting. It can be amended through a specified process to reflect changing values or needs. Overall, it serves as the supreme law in Pennsylvania, guiding government operation, protecting individual rights, and ensuring accountability and fairness within the state.
