Kentucky Constitution

Since becoming a state in 1792, Kentucky has had four constitutions.  The fourth, ratified in 1891, is still in use today.  The Kentucky Constitution, much like the U. S. Constitution, includes a preamble, Bill of Rights, and allowances for amendments.  It provides the general framework for the state, county, and city governments and sets rules for how they should all operate.
