Constitution of Georgia (U.S. state)
The Constitution of the State of Georgia is the governing document of the U.S. State of Georgia. The constitution outlines the three branches of government in Georgia. The legislative branch is embodied in the bicameral General Assembly. The executive branch is headed by the Governor. The judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court. Besides providing for the organization of these branches, the Constitution carefully outlines which powers each branch may exercise.
The current Georgia State Constitution was ratified on November 2, 1982. It is the newest state constitution in the United States and is Georgia's tenth Constitution, replacing the previous 1976 constitution.〔(Georgia Constitution ), Accessed June 27, 2008〕
Amendments to the Constitution may be proposed in the Georgia legislature and must be approved by a two-thirds majority vote of both the state House and state Senate followed by ratification by a majority of the electors qualified to vote for members of the General Assembly at the next general election which is held in the even-numbered years. The Constitution can also be amended by proposal at a constitutional convention, the calling of which must receive the support of a two-thirds majority vote by both houses of the legislature and a simple majority of state voters.
==History==

Prior to having a formal constitution, a document entitled Rules and Regulations of the Colony of Georgia, drafted in 1776, was in effect.〔(Rules and Regulations of the Colony of Georgia ), Accessed June 27, 2008〕 A year later, in 1777, the first formal constitution was drafted, followed by the constitutions of 1789, 1798, 1861 (after joining the Confederate States of America), 1865, 1868, 1877, 1945, 1976, and 1983.〔(Georgia Constitution Web Page ), Accessed June 27, 2008〕 All constitutions up until 1945 were drafted by constitutional convention.〔(Constitutional Conventions ), Accessed June 27, 2008〕 That year, Governor Ellis Arnall appointed a twenty-three member commission, devised of all three branches of government, to write a new constitution.〔
