All 772 amendments of it

Posted by Danny, on February 21st, 2006, at 1:30 pm

I just added in the Links section at the bottom of the page a link to the Alabama Constitution – including all 772 amendments. No wonder it is the longest Constitution in the world.

If the Constitutions of Alabama four neighboring states – Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi – were combined, Alabama’s would be four times longer.

Over 70% of the amendments apply to one city or county. No wonder state legislators spend nearly 50% of their time on local issues.

No matter how you slice it, it’s a mess.
