5.12 California Constitution

You can also get the text of the California Constitution. The California Constitution sets forth the fundamental laws by which the State of California is governed. The Constitution is grouped into subject matter areas known as Articles. Each Article is organized by headings and section numbers.
The California Constitution is accessible from the Legislative Counsel Bureau (leginfo.public.ca.gov) where it is contained in the constitution directory (/pub/constitution). The constitution directory contains two files. One file contains the complete text of the California State Constitution, and the second file contains a Table of Contents. The Table of Contents file contains Article headings and corresponding section numbers that will assist you in locating the specific Constitution section.
