Getting back to the original topic. What exactly did I set up in those 7,358 words.
As with most modern State Constitutions, the Declaration (or Bill) of Rights leads off, rather than being tacked on as an afterthought. More robust than the U.S. version.
State Legislature is set up relatively the same as Congress, except in two key aspects. There is no Lieutenant Governor, and the Senate elects its own President. The State Legislature is able to override the Governor’s veto with a simple majority of the total membership of both houses, rather than a 2/3rd’s majority of members present. In both the United States in General and the several States, the Executive has become much more powerful the Legislature and dialing back the veto would shift the balance of power towards the Legislature. Additionally, the administrative state has gained much power due to the inability of Congress or the State Legislatures to actually legislate. More effective and specific legislation would reduce the discretion and power of the administrative state.
No major changes on the Executive overall. But I do pull the Attorney General out of the Executive. Shenanigans at the Federal level by both parties sufficiently illustrate the virtue of creating a separate, elected, Attorney General.
The Judiciary is where I set brevity aside and detail the structure and jurisdiction. I take the virtue of the Federal system, California, Florida and a few others and eschew the total cluster ■■■■■, most notably, but not limited to, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. It should be simple to set up a well-structured, efficient judiciary, but most States just can’t seem to figure it out, so I did the hard work for them. Florida and the Federal Government both use a four-layer structure, (i.e., Supreme Court, intermediate appellate court, a court of general jurisdiction and a court of limited jurisdiction). I mirror that logical structure.
As for local government, I pointedly kept that section VERY short. Counties and cities should have maximum leeway to go their own way.
Oaths are self-evident.
And the amendment structure is kept somewhat difficult, to prevent, well, stupid amendments (i.e., pig crates, etc.).
