DIFFERENCES IN THE U.S CONSTITUTION AND THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.
The U.S constitution was written in 1787and. The Arizona constitution was written in 1910. However, they differ in various ways. First, the Arizona constitution is divided into permeable, and
thirty articles numbered 1-6, 7-22, and 25-30. However, the U.S constitution consists of a permeable and seven articles that explain the government’s structure and the way it operates. Besides, the U.S constitution has been amended 27 times since ratification. In comparison, the Arizona constitution has been amended 144 times and 155 times since its writing, and it weighs about 6 more times in words than the U.S constitution.
Finally, the U.S constitution has divided its power into two general ways, which are the vertical way and the horizontal way. Vertically the power is divided into the government levels and the subnational level, while horizontally, it is divided into three branches: the legislature, the executive, and the judicial. Unlike the U.S constitution, the Arizona constitution power is divided into just three branches: the executive, the judicial, and the legislature.
