A Note from Secretary of State Edward A. Buchanan The Wyoming Constitution is the foundation of Wyoming's laws and is our State's most essential document - preserving our liberty and justice in Wyoming. It was a proclamation of how this newest State, Wyoming, would responsibly protect the values of a rugged frontier when admitted as the 44th State of the Union on July 10th, 1890. In 1869, Wyoming was only known as a territory, a new one at that. Dreams of statehood began in 1888, but despite petitions to Congress, legislation at the national level failed to garner the necessary support. Regardless, in a lesson of true determination and perseverance, prominent citizens of the territory decided they would move forward. On September 30th, 1889, a draft constitution was finalized and on November 5th it was ratified by the people of the Wyoming Territory. The Wyoming Constitution was ratified by the U.S. Congress on July 10th, 1890. Unique among state constitutions, 1889 saw the citizen delegates to the Wyoming Constitutional Convention make the brave and pioneering declaration that women had the right to vote and hold office. This action forged Wyoming's place in history as the Equality State. A half-century later, the U.S. Constitution followed Wyoming and granted those same rights through the 19th Amendment. Although this document is nearly 128 years old, I find myself in awe that its authors set the course for Wyoming with their understanding that, to preserve our republic, the responsibility of governance must be placed in the hands of people, not the government. The contents of this document comprise the essential character of our State and still stand like a sentinel to protect the rights of Wyoming's citizens. As Wyoming's 22nd Secretary of State, I am proud to publish this document and make it widely available to citizens of Wyoming so that together we may better understand our history, our State Constitution, and our responsibility to protect and cherish our State and freedoms.

Download or read book Our Undemocratic Constitution written by Sanford Levinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Levinson argues that too many of our Constitution's provisions promote either unjust or ineffective government. Under the existing blueprint, we can neither rid ourselves of incompetent presidents nor assure continuity of government following catastrophic attacks. Less important, perhaps, but certainly problematic, is the appointment of Supreme Court judges for life. Adding insult to injury, the United States Constitution is the most difficult to amend or update of any constitution currently existing in the world today. Democratic debate leaves few stones unturned, but we tend to take our basic constitutional structures for granted. Levinson boldly challenges the American people to undertake a long overdue public discussion on how they might best reform this most hallowed document and construct a constitution adequate to our democratic values. "Admirably gutsy and unfashionable." --Michael Kinsley, The New York Times "Bold, bracingly unromantic, and filled with illuminating insights. He accomplishes an unlikely feat, which is to make a really serious argument for a new constitutional convention, one that is founded squarely on democratic ideals." --Cass R. Sunstein, The New Republic "Everyone who cares about how our government works should read this thoughtful book." --Washington Lawyer
