Talk:Constitution of Colorado

Project Rating

Changed "Top" to "High". Yes, the Constitution article is a very important article, but in the scope of Colo articles, the cities of Colo, the offices of state government, our famous persons, and our historic sites throughout Colo are more important to focus our editing efforts. respectfully changed.LanceBarber (talk) 05:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Colorado Constitution (partial bicuit) or the whole enchilada

Is there any reason why the citizens of Colorado can not have their Constitution (in Whole) on such a respected reference site?

I am in the process now of preparing a version over at wikisource (Constitution of the State of Colorado . 2020 – via Wikisource. [scan ]). Hopefully will be done sometime soon and then we can remove the entire outline section, or at least most of it. - - mathmitch7 ^{(talk/contribs)} 11:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

There is now a full text of the constitution, available at Constitution of the State of Colorado (2020)  – via Wikisource.. As such, I have removed the lengthy outline on this page in favor of a short outline and a summary containing notable sections. More work definitely has to be done on this article but hopefully we are in a better place now because of it. - - mathmitch7 ^{(talk/contribs)} 21:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Law reviews

I've looked through the whole annotated Colorado constitution as published by the state (wikisource link), and noted the following named law reviews as helpful explainers. I am putting them all here so they don't clutter the article, though in the future this is likely a good place to go to improve this article. Many of them require access to the Hein Online database, which I don't personally have access to. I also couldn't find full citation information for many of them, though what's listed is almost certainly enough:
