Constitution of Indiana
The Constitution of Indiana is the highest body of state law in the U.S. state of Indiana, establishing the structure and function of government, and enumerating specific rights of Indiana citizens. It is composed of a preamble, articles, and amendments. The constitution may be amended by the Indiana General Assembly subject to ratification by vote of the people, as specified by Article 16 of the constitution. The current constitution is the second Constitution of Indiana, enacted in 1851 in response to a fiscal crisis in the 1840s, with numerous amendments. The first constitution was created in 1816 for the Territory of Indiana after the United States Congress had agreed to grant statehood.
The Constitution, among other provisions, specifies a democratic republican form of government (pursuant to Article IV, Section IV, first clause, of the U.S. Constitution) consisting of three branches: executive including administration, legislative, and judicial, a bill of rights, grants suffrage and regulates elections, provides for a state militia, state educational institutions, and sets limits on government indebtedness.
Under the principles of federalism, the Indiana Constitution is subordinate only to the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
==Constitution of 1816==
On May 6, 1816, the United States Congress passed an enabling act granting Indiana permission to form a government and join the Union as a state. Slavery in Indiana was a major issue in the territory in those days and the abolitionists had been preparing for statehood with hope of instituting a constitutional ban on slavery. The Territory of Indiana had previously been governed by the Laws of Indiana Territory 1801–1809.
