As every public school student in Wyoming learns, much of our State Constitution was borrowed from other states. Our wise founders meticulously chose the best portions of other state constitutions for their ideas, compiled those with their own ideas, and gifted us with the strongest State Constitution in the Union. The Convention in 1889 should be an example to Wyoming Legislators as we move into the interim.
