Fairy Tale Spotlight: North Carolina State Constitution [Document Review]

The "North Carolina State Constitution" was first written in 1776. It's current form was ratified in 1971 and has 14 articles.

I am here more to talk about reading your state's constitution more than I am to talk about what I read in mine. The only thing I want to mention about the NC version that I thought was really cool happened in Article VI Sec. 8 where is clearly states that anybody running for public office will be disqualified for the position if they "deny the being of Almighty God." Hell yeah.

Anyways, I just read this because I think if you live in a state you should be familiar with its constitution. You should also read the US Constitution too obviously. Either way, be sure you know what your actual state believes in. It is very easy to get ahold of. I may have ordered a paperback copy, but your state constitution can be easily viewed online for free. It's one of those things that you certainly don't have to do, but you probably should do it anyways.

Do I recommend the "North Carolina State Constitution?" Well... do you live in North Carolina? If so, then yes. It is a boring read though! The US Constitution is a much easier read and seems to be in a plainer language. But there was enough there to teach me a thing or two about my state, and I feel a lot better having pushed through it. That's all.

  2. It is fascinating reading such documents. You can learn more about the place you live. It is also a good way to find out how our government started.
