A fact from Alabama Constitution of 1901 appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 3 December 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

I feel the image is not "unencyclopedic" as it gives a fairly good appromimation of how long the Alabama Constitution really is. KeoniPhoenix 01:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
The Constitution of India page also claims to be the longest constitution in the world. Which one is right?
Among the "blatantly obvious" amendments, I made a notation that Madison County's amendment to prevent municipalities from exercising extraterritorial jurisdiction was an effort to prevent a "police jurisdiction" from going beyond city boundaries -- a practice that is common in Alabama. I'll leave it to others as to whether that bullet point should be eliminated altogether.
There is a group representing both liberals and business interests that would like to re-write the Alabama constitution altogether, and this effort is supported by several of the state's newspapers, such as Mobile's Press-Register. It would greatly add to the article if someone with more knowledge of the issues surrounding a constitutional re-write would add a section.
The state legislature seems to be getting the convention journal 1901 online. While it's dry, it does have some attention-getting parts, such as an unfavorable reference to the Committee on Corporations, the old Railroad Commission, and an unbelievably stereotypical ramble by a self-described "old fogy" in support of the "white male" clause in the electoral part: http://www.legislature.state.al.us/misc/history/constitutions/1901/proceedings/1901_proceedings_vol1/day52.html 68.39.174.238 02:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
The article is completely negative about the Alabama constitution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.123.28 ( talk) 01:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
The article lists Amendment 693 as not existing, but the Legislate of the State of Alabama lists it in their website:

Could anyone supply any information about Alabama's five previous constitutions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.38.68 ( talk) 17:21, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
It seems that all the links to the online copy of the constitution have moved. I think I've fixed 'em all:
http://www.legislature.state.al.us/codeofalabama => http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama
and
http://www.legislature.state.al.us/history/ => http://www.legislature.state.al.us/aliswww/history/

The 2004 proposal was narrowly defeated by fewer than 2,000 votes,[8] due to objections by conservatives who saw it as a "plot to raise taxes."[2]
This reads like a jab at conservatives and doesn't really supply any information. If you look at the edit at

The section was much more informative prior to the edit, and it actually provided the reason. I think it needs to be changed.
