Wyoming State Constitution

The Wyoming State Constitution is the foundational legal document that outlines the structure and principles of Wyoming's government. Adopted in 1890 when Wyoming became a state, it establishes the rights of citizens, divides government powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and sets rules for state governance. Notably, it was the first constitution to grant women the right to vote, reflecting Wyoming's progressive values. This document serves as a framework for laws, ensuring justice, equality, and the well-being of its residents while upholding democratic principles.
