Colorado Constitution Overview

The Colorado Constitution contains the rules for how our state government operates. A main premise of the Constitution is that the people of Colorado give the government its power.

The Original Colorado Constitution was written in 1876. It has changed, or been amended, over 20 times since then. The Constitution can only be changed if a majority of voters approve the change.
