The Arizona Constitution was written in 1910, amended and ratified by Arizona voters and approved by Congress in 1911. On Valentine's Day in 1912 Arizona was declared an equal State of the Union. Since that time Arizona citizens have freely exercised their right to amend the Constitution. The Constitution now has thirty articles and over 40,000 words. This book will help you to read, study and understand the fundamental structure of Arizona's government and the rights and responsibilities of Arizona's citizens and elected officials. Academic Solutions has been developing study guides and classroom programs since 1992. Thousands of teachers and students have used our programs to learn and understand the Arizona Constitution and the United States Constitution. Our programs are used in the classroom and by individuals preparing for proficiency exams.
