The Wyoming Constitution

The Wyoming Constitution is the foundational legal document that establishes the structure, powers, and functions of the state's government. It defines the roles of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, sets out individual rights and freedoms, and outlines procedures for laws and elections. Adopted in 1889 when Wyoming became a state, it emphasizes principles like separation of powers, checks and balances, and limited government. As the highest law in Wyoming, it guides all other laws and ensures the state's government operates transparently, fairly, and in accordance with the rights of its citizens.
