Wyoming Constitution

The Wyoming Constitution is the foundational legal document establishing the state government of Wyoming. Adopted in 1890, it outlines the structure of the state government, including the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. It ensures individual rights and freedoms, similar to the U.S. Constitution, and includes provisions unique to Wyoming, such as suffrage for women, who gained the right to vote here in 1869. The document reflects Wyoming's values and priorities, emphasizing local control, natural resource management, and protections for citizens' rights. It serves as a guiding framework for lawmaking and governance in the state.
