AL's seems obscene in length, but I think most state constitutions are a bit on the long side.

Yeah, Alabama is an outlier. TX at #2 is 88k lines. Article is a bit old, but doubt the ratio has changed much.

I guess it does make sense. The federal one is pretty light because they left most of the power to the states. The states would need to get more into the weeds in theory and they are easier to amend. Odd thinking about it though since when we talk about the constitution it is usually in reference to the nice tiny federal one.

Have to confess, I have not read my current state's one. US Constitution plenty of times, have a copy on my desk in fact (no particular reason, just haven't put it back), but the founding documents of our states are just as important.
