State Constitution

A state constitution is a foundational document that outlines the structure, functions, and powers of a state government in the United States. It establishes the rights of citizens, the roles of various branches of government, and the process for making laws. Each state has its own constitution, which can vary significantly from others, reflecting local values and priorities. State constitutions also include provisions for amendments, enabling changes over time to adapt to new circumstances or address citizens' concerns. Essentially, it serves as the legal framework for governance within that state.
