The New York State Constitution establishes the rights of citizens, outlines the structure of state government, and incorporates principles not covered by the U.S. Constitution. Adopted initially in 1777 and revised several times, it guarantees individual rights, sets forth the powers of state government, and establishes the framework for local governance. This document serves as the foundational legal authority for the state's governance and the protection of its citizens' rights.
