state constitutions

Each state has its own constitution, which generally creates the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of state government; defines and limits the powers of these branches; and identifies fundamental rights of its citizens. A state’s constitution often defines and limits the state’s power to tax its citizens, and provides for the education of its citizens through public schools.

In Michigan, the state constitution establishes the framework for state government, which includes the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Michigan Constitution outlines the scope of authority and limitations of each branch to ensure a balance of power. It also enumerates the rights of Michigan residents, providing protections that may go beyond those found in the U.S. Constitution. Regarding taxation, the Michigan Constitution contains provisions that govern the state's ability to impose taxes, including limitations on tax rates, assessments, and the methods of taxation. Additionally, the constitution mandates the provision of public education, requiring the state to maintain and support a system of free public elementary and secondary schools, and addresses the governance of public universities and colleges within the state.
