    Alabama puts pretty much everything in their state constitution. It's extremely long. No other state puts anywhere near as much stuff in their respective consitutions.

    This is something that's rather problematic as a constitution is supposed to be relatively constant, only being changed when there's a serious issue. By using the constitution as just another code of laws, you might as well not have it at all as it doesn't provide much protection against abuses of power by the congress.
