| | Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A codified constitution is one that is contained in a single document, which is the single source of constitutional law in a state. | | | The Constitution of Australia is an example of a constitution in which constitutional law mainly derives from a single written document, but other written documents are also considered part of the constitution. | | | Entrenchment refers to whether the constitution is legally protected from modification without a procedure of constitutional amendment. |

| | The Constitution of 1868 was an amalgam of provisions copied or adapted from the Declaration of Rights of 1776, the Constitution of 1776 and its amendments, the proposed Constitution of 1866, and the Constitutions of other states, together with some new and original provisions. | | | Constitutional draftsmen have not been so convinced of their own exclusive hold on wisdom or so doubtful of the reliability of later generations of legislators that they found it necessary to write into the Constitution the large amount of regulatory detail often found in state Constitutions. | | | A simple and uniform court system was established with the jurisdiction of each court fixed in the Constitution. |
