They are the laws that form our government as well as forming the state of Missouri. The world that we live in today is based solely on the laws of the US Constitution. Our government is democratic, and was founded on the principles of the US Constitution. But as for the state in which I live today, these principles are founded by the Missouri Constitution.

The state of Vermont, for example, after proposal of the amendment, the governor has 60 days to call the convention, elect delegates from each county, and set the convention date. 14 people are elected to be at-large members.
